That is a gem, Bob!

I agree, it is everything you could want in one of these.
Fantastic piece and condition.

Congrats!!

Richard.

Hi Bob. Agree with comments already made. Nice example.

Is the end of the hilt resting on something? It looks a bit odd.

I think it is resting on the tab by which one would hang the towel.

Nice buy.
To me it looks like a nice tribal 'knife' with a long blade.

Thanks everyone, glad you all like it. shayde78 is correct about Tea Towel tab! It came with a scabbard, which looks to have been recovered in black hide, fairly recently.
