Glossary Roundup
Original Presentation Script
This appears to be a Belgian FN Herstal engraved dress dagger, likely from the early 20th century. The visible factory inscription, floral blade etching, and matching decorative guard and grip are consistent with a period decorative or presentation piece. I do not see enough detail to confirm the exact model or rule out later assembly, so I would keep authenticity confidence moderate. A conservative auction estimate would be roughly $150 to $350 if original, or about $50 to $120 if a later reproduction.

这似乎是一把比利时 FN 赫斯塔尔礼仪匕首或展示用侧刀，年代大致为20世纪早期。刀身蚀刻铭文和成套装饰配件支持这一判断，但仅凭这一视图无法完全确认其为军用还是民用。

Authenticity Score: 72%
The engraving, aged metal surfaces, and integrated construction look consistent with an old dagger, but the single image does not allow close inspection of tang, joins, or blade finish for full authentication.
雕花、金属表面的旧化感以及整体结构看起来符合老件特征，但仅凭单张图片无法细查茎部、接缝或刀身处理以完全鉴定真伪。
