Provenance: This dagger was acquired by a Swedish citizen who went on an European tour in 1948, and brought it back home as one of various souvenirs of his trip. Unfortunately how and where he actually acquired the dagger isn't known, and the family only remember it was brought back by him in 1948. The dagger was never cleaned throughout his ownership, and remains in a delightful uncleaned state to this day.
