The seller told me that he had bought the dagger in France, so it could be that it is a French dagger. The initials on the silver plate are. F.J.
The handle is clearly made from bone.

The small clasp at the blade near the handle is for fastening a leather or fabric band which you put around your wrist so that the sword doesn't get lost in combat, I've seen these swords with these...

Hello Albert,

It's for sure not a Piso Sanalenggam and I have some doubts if it is Indonesian.

I personally think that it's very unlikely that the hilt is from human bone, the dagger is 31,4 cm long, so the handle will be a little bit under 10 cm long, which human bone would fit this size?

Hi Jim,

That it is bone is clearly visible, my question was which sort of bone it could be? I ask because the seller suggested that it could be human bone! :confused:

Thank you both for comment! So it could be indeed a Freemason dagger. Any guess from which bone the hilt could be?
