The Silver Squirrel has dated this piece to the 1900s.
I would date it to c1900. It has been superbly made with the handle being cast in the form of Henry VIII. It is in superb condition being free from dings splits distortions and repairs. It measures approx. 9 inches (23cm) long by 3.25 inches (8cm) wide and weighs 120 grams. A high quality well made unusual piece.
