Welcome "Urbanarcheologist"
I'm a little bit spectic concerning "Vandoo" idea's
- yes, Syrian daggers grip are made with the same fashion, alternace of; bone, horn, copper
BUT
- the scabbard, it's far from what it's made in Middle-East
- the blade quality it's very far from what it's made in Middle-East
conclusion,
I dunno from where it's come from this dagger, but Syria, I've a strong doubt
