Hi Bob. Agree with comments already made. Nice example.
Is the end of the hilt resting on something? It looks a bit odd. Ian. |

Nice buy.
To me it looks like a nice tribal 'knife' with a long blade. Jens |

Thanks everyone, glad you all like it. shayde78 is correct about Tea Towel tab! It came with a scabbard, which looks to have been recovered in black hide, fairly recently.

Funnily enough, I was looking at a Turkish KILIJ sword the other day and the owner said the scabbard was probably covered in Ass hide!
