Thns again for all your input; highly appreciated. I shall try to make some better pics but more important for me is to find out the origin ...
Even if it would be a tourist piece for the "upper class" or better to do travellers between 1900-1950, surely more of these must have been made and entered the EU and Anglo-Saxon markets one would presume...

As for now, I think the most trustworthy and reasonable explantion I would think is made by Kai, but surely would like to see and know if more of these kind of daggers surfaced.

The hilt decoration reminds me a little of the hairdress as worn by men in Java and Bali in the past.... But than again, than could be as the Stones sing so nicely "only my imagination, running away with me..." ☺
