Simple but old Minasbad

[Robert]

Hello Detlef, Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you on this but again I have been under the weather for the last few days. However I do have one item in my collection that has a hilt with a quite similar carving. I believe that the scabbard on your item at one time had a curled toe "now broken" that would have looked similar to the one shown below. The main difference is that the blade on my example has a curved spine while on yours the spine looks straight. My example has a more rustic appearance to it while yours is more refined in its appearance. The monkey skull has been removed from the scabbard, I just haven't taken any new photos of this piece yet.

Best,
Robert
