The dagger arrived today so here are a few pictures. The hilt material does not look like the water buffalo horn that I am used to seeing. There are a couple of pictures of the blade where I tried to show the pattern in the steel that did not turn out very well but will still give an idea of what it looks like. There are also a couple pf pictures that show the decorations on the top and bottom scabbard bands. I hope that these might help in placing where this dagger originated. Thank you all for your help so far and I am looking forward to any other comments anyone would like to offer.
Regards,
Robert
