Could you tell us how large it is? Also, are there any markings of any kind on the blade or anywhere else?
The Dagger is seven and a quarter inch's in length. And any Identifying mark's on it have ben worn away. The handle seem's to be bone and or Ivory. And on the end of the Handle there apear's to be a clam shell.
So you've looked it over really good and can't find anything at all? That's a shame..sometimes even the tiniest hint of a mark, number or letter that you find with a jewelers loupe/magnifier can help the people on here with a good knowledge of this type of item. Perhaps if you would delete one of your pictures and add one in it's place of the "shell", that might give someone something to go on to help you out. I hope you get some information or help from someone!
