8.75" spearpoint blade, .75" wide at forte. Hilt appears to be of brass with silver plate. Complete with scabbard.  While unsigned, this piece bears a close resemblance to works by famed Tennessee, and later Texas, silversmith Samuel Bell, who made a pair of silver spurs worn by Sam Houston. **Good condition overall. Some imperfections to blade with red felt washer present. Blade is somewhat loose. Some tarnishing to plate finish. A very attractive dagger overall.** Provenance Sam Houston Family Collection $2,000-$4,000
