We both bid on that one.

Glad if I didn't get it, you did. I figured PI too. What ever it is, it's long, pointy, and sweet!

Steve,
Thank you for your response. I'm still trying to figure out what the pommel is made from. It has a translucent quality when held to light, maybe a light colored horn? Any comments on the hole in the blade or what its purpose was? It has definitely been there since the blade was forged.

Robert and Steve:

This does look PI work. I think this long bladed knife is modeled after the style of knives from Albacete in Spain during the late 19th C. Marc could likely provide more details.
