Small Knife ID Help Needed

Robert · 29th October 2008, 11:13 PM

Just picked this up and would like help with identifying where it is from and possible its age. Nice steel blade with some damage to the spine where it looks like someone was pounding on it to help cut through something. Grip is wood with brass wire binding. It is split on the top from shrinkage. The tang goes through the hilt and a small square steel plate and is then peened over. I don't know if the white dot is supposed to represent an eye or not as it is only on one side of the grip. It does have a marking on the blade and I hope that the picture is clear enough to help. Thanks for any help offered on this.

Blade Length = 6-1/8"
Blade at Thickest = 1/8"
Blade at Widest = 1-3/8"
Total Length = 10"
