Hi Guys,
Thanks for your interest.
Battara, I would agree the hilt is white horn and I will take better photos.
David, thank goodness re the pattern I thought I was seeing things and yes the piece belongs to me. I'll need to search the Forum for info on etching.
Dom, many thanks for steering me in the right direction.
Anybody care to comment on the size of this Jambiya, it seems really quite small in comparison to others, could it be for a child?
Thanks again.
Regards,
Norman.
