I have an Italian Stiletto from northern Italy, probably Venice, circa 1640. The hilt is iron mounted with a pommel and quillons featuring a spiral/oval design. The grip is spiral-carved dark brown horn with two twisted copper wires and three sets of ivory inlaid dots, one missing of 12. There are also decorative brass pins and two brass ferrules. The narrow, pitted blade is triangular with worn gunner shot measurements and a decorative bolster at the cross guard. The weapon is solid with no movement. Can you provide information on its history and value?

We found a damaged 24x18 print at the bottom of a truck with tools on top of it. What is this called on a board? Is it a lithograph print? And would it be worth anything in this condition?

I have a Rolex Precision Explorer from the 1960s-1970s that is working but may need some cleaning. I would like to know the price to insure it or possibly sell it if a good opportunity arises. Additionally, I received an offer of $2,500 and am seeking a second opinion on its value and potential selling price.
