italian Fascist Knife ?
This is similar to photos I have found of the Italian Youth Navel dagger but the guard is curved and the scabbard is solid brass so I cannot find an exact match. Does anyone recognise it?
Thanks in...

Wayang Golek swords
Has anyone seen these before.
I am thinking for the tourist market but the blades are quite usable.

Hello
I meant the comment to be a bit "tongue in cheek" but it looks as though that has backfired on me.
The main point was the " monster" style of hilt that I had not come across before in these...

Thank you Gentlemen,
The blade fits the scabbard really well, but as you say, it appears to be the wrong way around. As I said, not my field of collecting so I think I will pass it on.

Indonesian, English or the other way around?

Hello Xasterix.

However, #5 is slightly hollow ground but it does not have a pronounced rib so I don't think...
