Hello please help me identify the date on this dagger. The hallmark is rubbed off so I'm not positive on the date letter. It looks like the b from 1883. I am curious on why it says "Made in Scotland". I didn't think that mark happened till earlier in the 20th century. I know it has an ebony handle in leather sheath with sterling fittings. The handle and sheath has Glasgow hallmarks I think. With 6.79 carat citrine in pommel. Thank you for all you help.

I'm not sure I'm doing the photos right.

Edinburgh, maybe 1957 or 1968?

Here's an example of Edinburgh marking from 1958:
