We are not sure as for the origin and use of this “Mystery” dagger / short sword. The heavy blade is 15 inches long, of triangular shape with a short central fuller and acute point. It is very well forged from high carbon steel. The handle is turned wood (Probably Oak). Total length 21 inches. Very good condition with a small chip on the wood cross guard. A very well made item. Very well balanced in spite of the heavy blade.
