Hi Iain

Interesting to note the similarity between the hilt on the fourth dagger down, and the dagger I had previously posted....

Hi Colin,

That struck me as well Colin, your dagger and a few others. Even more cermonial items like this Kapsiki dagger share some features (also note the identical decorative motifs compared to your dagger). http://people.ucalgary.ca/~ndavid/Ho...%20brasses.jpg
