Hi Montino,
Is that your in 'your pictures' or is it really yours

I have a firm grip on the wood work while I wait to hear if those emeralds and other gems are real and in your collection. It is a great pleasure to get involve in that type of work. At any given time only a very small number of things like that are made world wide. Tim

Yah, it's a great dagger but I found that the emeralds tend to get slippery if you get blood on them so I donated it to the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul... They've got it in their permanent collection now.
