I have recently obtained this piece and several others and wish to know more about this one in particular. The hilt is bone and of an orange colour, would this denote a region/country or ethnic group for origin? The blade is broad, thick and has a nice taper to it in all direction. The blade is clearly stamped both sides, does anyone have any info on this mark in particular? Over all the piece is only 16inches and has a blade of 11inches.
Any info would be appreciated.

thanks
