The origin of this dagger is uncertain, but is more like the original fighting man's dirk in the Highlands than any other in the Museum. Like many dirks it is made from the broken blade of a sword and itdeed it still carries the famous name of the swordmaker, Andrea Ferrara. The pommel is also from a sword but not necessarily from the same one oas the blade. The simple bone handle helps to potentiate the grip in a way that ornamental dirks cannot do and never did. The component parts are of 18th century origin.
