Hello Fernando,
This dagger shows a lot of Spanish influence to me. The brass coating at the forte, and the triangular lines in particular are seen everywhere Spain had a presence, from South-America to the Philippines. I like this one...could it have had a guard riveted where the holes are? Emanuel |

Certainly has Taureg / North African characteristics......the blade seems older..looks likely this is re-hilted.

Well spotted Flavio..... Southern Morrocan certainly looks to be the nearest
 A very nice find Fernando, ....I still think it has been re-hilted (by the photgraphs) .... Congrats ...I like it
