Robert, yes I see the different in the blade shapes as well but only want to say that it is not uncommon to find gunong shapes where the tip is upswept.

Once again, Detlef, a good point (like the one on my head

).

Also thank you Detlef - I offer my services to the entire forum.

Other that the figural hilt on your dagger the blade profile reminds me more of this one than most of the gunongs that I have seen.

Best,
Robert

Yes Robert, this is very close to my blade, including the midian ridge.

BTW - what do you folks think about the crown with a cross in silver on the top back of the head? Don't know what to make of it.
