Original Presentation Script
This appears to be a Belgian FN Herstal engraved dagger or hunting knife, likely from the early to mid-20th century. The visible maker’s mark, floral blade engraving, and brass-mounted grip support a genuine period decorative arm, though only one photo is available and the exact subtype remains uncertain. Condition looks very good with light wear and patina. A conservative auction estimate would be about $200 to $450 if authentic, or $50 to $150 if later decorative.

可见磨损、结构与时代风格雕纹支持其为真品，但目前只有单一角度，且它也可能是较晚期的纪念品或装饰性版本，而非稀有军用品。
