African knife / WW2 souvenir?
Cheers,
got this knife recently.
Story is it was brought home by a German soldier from Northern Africa.
Any chance this is likely?
Thanks in advance for any input,
taube.

Keris / Bali or Lombok
Gentlemen,
here is a Keris that I got a while ago.
I was told it is from Bali or Lombok.
The hilt is pleasantly simple.
Can someone add to the above description?
Maybe put in a date range?...

Kurdish Khandjar(?)
Gents,
second new blade that came in.
Also very simple in design but robust.
Sheath is magnetic, made from sheet metal and soldered.
