Thank you for your interest gentlemen.
Jens, my friend will not permit a photo of the entire piece to be published, I have already asked for this.
I know this dagger, it is a peshkabz form, acutely tapered, straight T back blade, greenstone, possibly jade hilt. A very common form, nothing out of the ordinary, and you could pick half a dozen books that show this sort of thing and see this form.
I most sincerely doubt that a photo of the entire piece would assist in any way, but I do agree, it would be more interesting if I could post a pic of the piece concerned. I'll ask again, but even if he agrees it might be a while before it could go up, as he leaves for the UK today.
Incidentally Jens, since we did not attend high school together, nor do we belong to the same club, could I request that you address me as "Alan"? Thanks.
