Unknown Ethnic Knife

[Sajen]

Hello Michael,

I know why I have been careful with my guess about the age before but that the dagger come without a sheath have let me think that it perhaps an old one. But a sheath can be lost as well by a copy. Since I know that you own several of this kind of daggers and you will have some old references as well I am sure that you are correct. But on the other hand I have to say that the Dagger from Daniel shows a good patination at the brass handle what show me again to be very careful by casted brass since it seems easy to let look it old.

Best regards,

Detlef

Hello Detlef,

One of the best references is Modigliani and several of his hilt-drawings are reprinted in van Z's book.
