Hello I purchased these daggers from an auction in the UK. The Teledo dagger is easy to find examples of but I'm not sure the age. Also I have seen some letter openers that Toledo make. The auctioneer said it was a 19th century dagger but it's not sharp at all. So I'm not sure if it's old or just a letter opener. Its very ornate for a letter opener. The other is definitely a military dagger. Very sharp and fuctional I just don't know how old and where it is from. There is no maker marks on the dirk. It has a rosewood handle and the mounting are silver. The blade is engraved. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you

They both appear to be reproduction knives. The one stamped Toledo is relatively new figure 1960's or 70's. The other piece is older, looks to be a Victorian Era piece. The leather is a giveaway but also the etching on the ricasso is indicative of that time period.
