Hello dear members,
I please need the advice of the Native American specialists of the forum
I come back from few days holidays and I found there in a second hand shop this piece,
it was with ''the old tools'': rusty saws, cobbler hammers, sickles ...
I saw this old knife, looked like an old european peasant working knife,
nothing special, not small not long : 30cm overall
Then I saw the scabbard with his indian style decorations,
I let it but I came back 30 minutes later remembering the knives sold/traded by europeans to native indians community I read about in a book time ago
so I took it ( hound dog...)
The hilt is interesting with lines/decorations matching with the one on the sheath and the sheath match perfectly with the blade.
( cf pictures)
Can it be one of these ?
Sure it can just be a later decoration/work from anybody in Europa or somewhere else,
but, I think it can be.
What do you think ?
Kind regards
