MEASUREMENTS: Overall length: 20.5 cm (8.7 inches)
CONDITION: It is in excellent condition for an antique combat bronze dagger that is over 3000 years old. No cracks or repairs. The surface is covered by its natural green patina and earth encrustation.
PROVENANCE: Ex-private old Canadian collection of antiques and antiquities formed in the 1980s.
The significant demand for ancient bronzes, particularly bronze weapons, has led to the emergence of many reproductions in the American and European antiquities markets. These reproductions include swords, daggers, maces, axes, and arrowheads.
In many cases, these objects are well-made and professionally aged, showing signs of damage, patina, and being covered with earthen deposits to simulate an old appearance. As a result, they can appear indistinguishable from authentic ancient artifacts to inexperienced collectors. However, it is important to note that these reproductions have no historical or investment value.
