An old, just acquired knife. Usual 'T' spine with a nice downward curved blade , 10.5" long (following curve). A nice chunky handle showing a lovely used patina, handle has a very old repair, the slabs have acquired a nice polished finish from handling....does not look like bone ...I am almost certain some sort of ivory.....any ideas how I can ID it (its not elephant )
I am always wary of the stories behind weapons, but this is stated as being a Victorian 'bring back' from the North-West Frontier,. I have no problem with the dating ....mid 19th C seems highly likely. I really like these....comments and info would be great ![]() Regards David |
