Ariel, the knife is still in my collections, not sold and archived.
If time permits I'll find and photograph it.

Ariel, no problem posting my photos.

Here are a few more of "Dumbo" which show off the ears.

The "nail polish" decoration appears on a lot of these. Anyone know what it is ?

Regards
Roy

I don't know what that is but I have also seen it on at least one Khyber knife.

I was also wondering what kind of colored material they used to imitate enameling.
