They also cast a number of bronze statues which can be found throughout New England. A Gamblers Dagger is a small fixed-blade knife (usually, a dagger) that is designed to be carried in or on a boot. Typically, such a knife is worn on a belt or under a pant leg. If worn around the neck (by means of a chain or lanyard) they become a neck knife. This example is 22cm in total, with a blade length of 14cm. The blade is inscribed ‘Ames Sword Co Chicopee Mass’. The cheek of the blade has beautiful ornate etchings to both sides. The handle is a stunning one piece ‘Mother of Pearl’. The sheath is a light tan leather with a belt hook to the top. A stunning piece for the collector. The price includes UK delivery. 19176.
