UNKNOWN KNIFE

I THINK IT WAS ASSEMBLED ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THE BLADE AND THE GAURD WITH THE HOLE FOR A BARREL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN MADE FROM BRASS TO MATCH THE HANDLE FOR THE KNIFE. THE HANDLE MAY HAVE BEEN FROM SOME EXHISTING FIXTURE FROM SOMETHING THAT THE MAKER THOUGHT MADE A GOOD KNIFE HANDLE. THE BLADE AND SCABBARD ARE WELL MADE AND JUDGING FROM THE PATINA ALL PUT TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. I AM GUESSING AROUND WW1 TIME FRAME.

It seems to me that the shape of the handle would prevent a barrel to fit into the hole...
