Antique dagger auctions: ethnographic and prehistoric, searched at once

Antique daggers span an extraordinary range, from knapped flint and cast bronze age blades thousands of years old to ornately decorated 19th-century Indian and Persian ethnographic daggers with jewelled or carved hilts, a genuinely broad collecting field where age, region and decorative quality all drive value independently of each other.

Why antique dagger lots get missed

General sellers frequently list a dagger simply as "old knife" or "tribal dagger" without identifying the region or period, so a genuinely significant prehistoric or ethnographic piece can sit unrecognised inside a listing that looks entirely ordinary.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a region like "Indian dagger" or "Persian dagger," a period like "bronze age dagger," or "antique dagger" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "antique dagger": genuine Indian/Persian daggers and a Danish Stone Age knapped flint dagger, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the regions or periods you collect

Save a search (a region, a period, or "antique dagger" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching dagger lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how antique dagger collectors actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and any applicable taxes included) is always in front of you.
