Antique George Wostenholm Gamblers Dirk Knife. MOP/Silver Ornate Handle

Description

This great old knife is marked
I.X.L.
George Wostenholms Celebrated Cutlery.
It's a 9" Gambler's Dirk, made in England. This knife was used for protection. The sheath has a silver button to attach on a button inside a boot. The handle is made of Mother Of Pearl.
The guard is very ornate. It's nickel silver. It appears someone tried to scratch initials into the mother of pearl which is hard to see unless held in a certain angle, however, doesn't take away from the beauty of the handle
. This is a very old piece, as you can tell by the leather sheath. The silver tip of the sheath has been replace to protect it from further damage.
