Lew, looks pretty spot on for ID on these. When I first saw these, I began thinking of the Cretan daggers, but as I do not have that book with me I really couldnt place. What are the distinctions on the Cretan daggers? It seems like they also have the splayed pommel, but again cannot recall for sure.

All the best,
Jim
