Title Corsican stiletto
Nationality French
Period c 1830
Sold

This is the cacciatorre Mediterranean knife found all over the western Mediterranean, but principally in Corsica and Sardinia. The mounts are white metal, possibly low grade silver. The grip is ebony and the scabbard is fine calf leather on a wood body. The blade is 5.5" long. It is the classic vendetta knife of the region.

The condition is excellent with a little restoration evident at the pommel and it has 70% of its original lead polish finish to the blade.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
