And again, thank you very much for the information on this Kronckew. Unlike a few who only want their items to be of great age I just want a general idea of age, be it the last century or last week.
I noticed that in the photo (that you pointed out) that what I take to be the original chieftain's knife has a wooden sheath while the copy has one made from horn. Did older fancier ones like this originally have scabbards made from horn or was this just a case of artistic licence being taken by your friend? Either way it is a beautiful piece.
Best,
Robert
P.S.
I have changed the photos that I posted earlier to ones of a better quality.
