Hello everyone
All right. Here it has been a weapon used in Argentina and Argentina not only includes the pampa but also the mountains, the mountain, the jungle, the mountain range. In all these regions the knife was used in its different variants.
So we must separate the context, otherwise we would end up in a sociological and ethnographic discussion.
The work of Domenech "Daggers of Silver" has been cited. In the first word, in the Introduction, he uses Pampa, thus limiting the appearance of the gaucho character (whatever he wants to call him: gauderio, camilucho, changador) to the pampa.
The gaucho was born of the mixture of two bloods, the Spanish and the Indian, and the introduction of the horse and the cattle.
It says somewhere that the first gaucho types appeared in the eighteenth century. He does not know the mention of Hernandarias, he describes it at the beginning of the 17th century. The same for Aguirre, who places it in the province of Tucuman, for the same time.
The same goes for Slatta, which qualifies him as a hunter of wild cattle, horses and cattle. It is true that it occurred in a certain place and time, but you can not take this characteristic as a definition.
As for the state of the sheet, nothing can be said. Perhaps he has taken care of his previous or previous owner, and maybe he has cleaned himself up. The same goes for leather work on the handle and the sheath. Known is that artisans (the sogueros) like perfection, however humble the material
Sorry for the translator
