 .Actually i recognized this famous tower before discerning the name Sevilla; been there but, didn't have the courage to walk all the way up  .These navajas, when not being touristic pieces (XVIII-XIX century) are getting each day more and more expensive  .

Congratulations, I was following this navaja but unfortunately I forgot bid !! This piece is a navaja probably made in Santa Cruz de Mudela, but made like souvenir, maybe in 1960, to sell in Sevilla, a city of the south of Spain. The church engraved is The Giralda, typical from this city.
I f some day you decides to sell or change it, please tell me. Thanks in advance carlos |

Fernando,
Shouldn't this thread be in the Ethnographic forum? That is where past postings on navajas ended up. Cheers Chris |

Fernando,
You are the boss here, I was merely trying to be helpful!  Here I list two of my more attractive enameled navajas. I suspect that both originated from Santa Cruz De Mudela around 1950. The unusually high level of workmanship points the finger at Julian Galvan or someone he taught. Perhaps Carlos can throw some light on them. They both have 6"carbon steel blades, liners and back spring, as well as bolsters (virola y rebajo). The only legible inscriptions are Sevilla and E Leon (The rest was abraded out during grinding)) on the one with the Giralda and the other only bears the ubiquitous faux Toledo targetting tourists. Cheers Chris |
