Authentic Antique Scottish Silver Dirk Hallmarked 19th.c Edinburgh Scotland .925

Description

Up for sale is a remarkable Authentic Antique Scottish Silver Dirk Hallmarked 19th century from Edinburgh Scotland with .925 proof marks.  It also features a makers mark of J.R. as well as the Edinburgh Assay mark (castle figure) and thistle signifying it is .925 silver from the assay office.  I do not know the maker however it is highly likely to be the work of master silversmith James Ross.  It also has a very faint crude etching that appears to say 81st Inf. signifying possibly the 81st Highlanders Regiment.
It is an incredible piece consisting of a intricate traditional Scottish carved wood handle set with topaz pommels in a leather sheath with .925 sterling silver fittings.  I do not know if the blade itself is silver or a mixture of metals but it does show some rust and other wear as described in the listing details section above.  This dirk set includes a fork and small knife, an authentic version similar to the dirk sets shown on Outlander, it is quite a rare find that has seen some great history.
It measures approximately 9 1/4" long on the large blade with handle, the blade itself being 5 1/2" long.  This is an amazing piece that I have had in my collection of antiques for over 35 years, and one of the few I have ever come across in the US in all those years of collecting and reselling antiques.  It would be a wonderful addition to any museum or high end collection.  It will ship free to domestic USA.
