Rare Victorian Sgian Dubh 79th Regiment of Foot.

Victorian Sgian Dubh relating to the 79th (The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders) Regiment of Foot. It has a gilt metal pommel decorated with oak leaves and set with a large cut stone which looks like a Citrine stone. It has a basketweave carved grip embellished with gilt studs. It has a gilt ferrule with the sphinx and the battle honour ‘Egypt’. It has a good steel blade etched with the regiments number 79th, the blade has suffered a little over the years and has had some rust which has left some light pitting and dark stains. It has a leather sheath with matching gilt fittings, to the from it has been engraved “Given to the M O E on Leaving The 79th. Returned by Her in 1889”. I’m sorry to say, I do not know what the M O E was but obviously a Woman. A superb little dagger with an incredible historic story to tell. It measures 7.5 inches long.
