Brass Mystery Knife
Good Morning/Evening to all,
This brass knife is not mine, posting on behalf of a friend. Not sharp, useless as a weapon, maybe a fancy letter opener? Or ceremonial? Is anyone able to identify the country or ethnic group of origin? Best regards, Brian |

No idea what it is and where from. But everything says to me a clumsy crudely carved tourist item. A piece I never would tell anybody that i bought it.

Thanks guys, it is as I suspected, worthless. Nevertheless, one always has the faint hope that is ancient Aztec or Inca and valuable.
Best, Brian |
