The Silver Squirrel has dated this piece to the 1870s.
I would date this by its design to c1870-1890. It has been beautifully made and the back of the handle has been engraved with initials. It is in super condition being free from dings splits and repairs. It measures approx. 12.5 inches (32cm) long by 3.75 inches (9.7cm) wide and weighs 86 grams. A very nice quality example.
