Thanks Lew,
so they are not even a 'copy' of a genuine dagger?


Hi Jim,
yes, the main reason I posted these is to show the stamps, it seems that a number of Takouba's recently sold on eBay displayed identical marks...although not so many. These Takouba's were described as late 19th C and the winners paid good money for what ,I am certain, were probably late 90's.......1990 that is. I hope that none of the forum members were the buyers.... and hopefully if any more 'hit' the market others will be forewarned.

Kind Regards David
