Interesting and unusual knife, opinions please!

Thanks for the extra pics Detlef. I agree, definitely not the usual depiction of Hanuman in Thai work. There are, however, many other characters from the Thai version of the Ramayama that this figure might represent.

The prior abuse to the blade is unfortunate, but maybe reparable, and your usual restorer may be able to help with the crack to the hilt. I hope you can revive this old knife because it is unusual and seems to have been around for a while.

Ian.
