The ones I've posted are not mine, I've taken the pics from the net! But I can tell you that all I've seen until now don't show the cut outs by the tang. like I said before, it's the most unusual nicker I've seen until now but the blade shape tells me that's a nicker for sure. Therefore my guess is that it's a very old one and was one for a wealthy person.

Regards,
Detlef
