Brass Mystery Knife
 
6 Attachment(s)
Good Morning/Evening to all,

This brass knife is not mine, posting on behalf of a friend. Not sharp, useless as a weapon, maybe a fancy letter opener? Or ceremonial? Is anyone able to identify the country or ethnic group of origin?
Best regards,
Brian

No idea what it is and where from. But everything says to me a clumsy crudely carved tourist item. A piece I never would tell anybody that i bought it.

I agree with Henk. Tourist....maybe Tibet or suchlike. Has some traits of that area. Not letter opener either as far to big .....unless your Bills are huge :D :D

Thanks guys, it is as I suspected, worthless. Nevertheless, one always has the faint hope that is ancient Aztec or Inca and valuable.
Best,
Brian
