**A FINE SILVER-MOUNTED CENTRAL AMERICAN KNIFE OF PRESENTATION QUALITY, CIRCA 1865-86with tapering blade double-edged for its upper half, inscribed `Por Rufino Flamenco En Sn Salvador` on the back-edge, chiselled with elaborate scrolls of foliage within a recessed panel on each face and set with two gilt plaques, one inscribed `JMM` (small areas of light staining, chiselled metal ferrule decorated with animals including hounds, a squirrel and a horse, two-stage faceted silver grip, finely chased with alternating panels of scrolling foliage and conventional flowers, in its silver scabbard, finely chased with bold scrolls of foliage and differing flowers inhabited by birds and a hound, one side with a rondel filled with the arms of Columbia enclosed by the inscription `Bogota Estados Unidos de Columbia`, and on the other with two rondels, one with the American eagle charged with a shield and the inscription `United States of America` and the other with the arms of El Salvador and the abbreviated inscriptions for Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras, the outer face with belt hook chased en suite, and remaining in fine condition throughout37.8cm; 14 7/8in overallThe initials on the blade are almost certainly those of José Maria Medina, president of Honduras for eleven terms during the period 1863-76. El Salvador only supported Medina during his first period as president. In 1865 Honduras and El Salvador signed the Tratado de Defensa Centroamericana which included a defence agreement between Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras. It is likely that the knife was intended for presentation at this time, though for reasons now obscured, this never happened which would explain the absence of further initials on the reverse gold escutcheon. Medina was clearly held in high regard by his contemporaries, a letter dated 1st June 1864 to him from William H. Seward on behalf of President Abraham Lincoln records the good relations that Medina strived to maintain between the United States and Honduras, and their desire to maintain this for the foreseeable future. However, Medina`s fortune was not to last, he was ousted from power in 1872 and executed by firing squad four years later.
