Mexican Blade
Señores,
bought this blade on a market in Puebla, México, last week for virtually nothing. „Viva la Penca“ can be translated as „Long live the blade“ with room for a slippier interpretation. Hilt part is 9,5 cm long, the actual blade 18,5 cm, overall is 28 cm. I have seen similarly shaped knives in a museum in Oaxaca and done some web research. I still am clueless as to what the complete hilt may have looked like. Any ideas from an experienced collector? Thanks in advance! Dirk. |
