Knife for ID
The knife in its sheath is 37.5 cms long. The handle is made of bone, the sheath is wood covered with very strange leather (very hard), old brass fittings. The blade fits the sheath perfectly. All parts are original. Islamic era 1309 is engraved on the blade (which is 1891 in Gregorian (acc to G = I x 32/33 - 622). My idea is Aegean coast of Turkey. Any opinion is most welcome.
