Hello Willem,

Quote:
I would like to see pictures of the knife inside the scabbard.
The handle looks different from the other peurawot's
Maybe the handle has been replaced / restored somewhere in the past.
I'd tend to believe this being a genuine example possibly from around the turn of the century given that it appears to show some wear from real use.

Workmanship of all parts looks decent despite its quality being not top notch. I've seen quite a bit of variability with these knifes and especially larger examples tend to be more rough. I'd assume these to belong to less affluent people and used more as a general utility tool.

Regards,
Kai
