Here some pictures after I have received the knife and have given it some maintenance. The handle seems original to the knife, the fit inside the scabbard is fine and the patina is nice at all parts. The blade seems to have seen a lot of use and in some pittings is a white stuff to seen, maybe chalk which would confirm that it was used for betel use.

Hello Detlef,

Thanks for the additional pics!

Sounds like the real deal!

How thick is the blade at the base?

and in some pittings is a white stuff to seen, maybe chalk which would confirm that it was used for betel use.

Don't jump to conclusions - could as well be leftovers from polishing compound. BTW, a knife won't be used to work the lime.

Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai,

it's nearly 6 mm thick at the base. The white stuff could be very well leftovers from old polishing. I am aware that the knife wasn't used for the lime. It was just a guess since I've direct seen this white filled pittings.
