Hello! I have recently acquired a knife and scabbard and would like to know something about it as this is a new subject for me.
It is approx. 16.5" in length, has a horn or dark wood handle (which is rather cracked), and has a light-weight wood scabbard. The scabbard has some carving at the handle and at the curved tip. There is also some very nice tracery along the length of the scabbard, either etched or scribed. I have included photos.
What is it? Where does it come from? What is it made of? Approximately how old is it? Thanks very much!
Wendy
