I don't know much about the late type HB dags.

Hanson says circa 1790's. The last blades were made in the 1880's and the last ones with the handles circa 1850.

Here's a Dag from a collection of Indian weapons. Notice one side has been sharpened more than the other.

Its about as good as they get for me.

That blade style looks more like maybe 16th Century........Italian to be specific Eeker Big Grin
