Small knife with a flintlock like hilt

[tom hyle]

definitely some kind of European/Eurocolonial/Euroimitative (broad enough analysis? Hee hee). Not of close relation to the kodme (N Berbese dagger knife). There is considerable variation in kodmes and flyssas, but here the decorations are not those seen on kodme (at least some of which are always or almost always radially symetrical), the spine is not swedged (bevelled), there is no forged bolster, the tang is full-length, and the edge is not feathered (hollowed). Interesting to me is the wrapped ferule (a peasanty thing to do, and especially suggestive for being in copper; the guard is, too, yes?). A ferule of this sort, binding scales down so no rivet is needed near the blade junction is a strengthening feature often seen on old European (etc.) heavy butchering (etc.) knives/swords. The next-the-pistol knife seems a likely possibility; any pictures of others, anyone?
Is that a tang-band?
