However my thought was that stiletto daggers of the previous century and before will lead you to much more fertile soil in studying the general subject and still remain in the domain of Ethnographic.

I understand what you are saying Ibrahiim , but it is not the stiletto dagger that interests me in this case , it is the geographic origin of of the handle of this specific example .... and that is clearly within the ethnographical domain .
