Thank you Sajen, thank you gp, for your interest and for sharing your knowledge and pics.

Sajen, I don't know if the figure is Saint Hubertus von Liege, as the one on my knife has a spear. As for the lady, she is depicted on top of a crescent moon, which indicates that She is Our Lady Mary. And I think that in turn is on top of a snake? I'm going to clean it now.
Yours is a considerable collection, with some very interesting and exquisite pieces, thank you for sharing.
I had no idea that such a variety of knives existed. It is a good theme for collecting, provided that the prices are not exorbitant.

It has been established that it is a nicker, but what about the age? 19th century? Older? Questions and more questions...
Thank you.
