Winnlex,
I guess that it depends where you came at it from and the role that it would play in one's collection. The antiques fetch a good price in Argentina, as exemplified by this old English blade: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/...y-no-facon-_JM It is my impression that Creole knives and such like are more seriously collected in Sth America than elsewhere. Cheers Chris |

Brian,
With reference to your now closed thread, the image you have on file and the knife type used to inflict such wounds are found here, discussed in this thread. Your closed thread here; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=22753 Gavin Last edited by Gavin Nugent; 30th May 2017 at 12:14 PM. |

cuchillo gaucho
Well, I guess that answers Iliad's question. I had suspected the victim's belt was gaucho and so the knife is the plain, rather than silver mounted, variant of the cuchillo gaucho. Please note the examples in Abel Domenech's excellent article.
