Interesting Venezuelan dagger

[Richard G]

Have a look at at the history of Maracaibo. It was actually founded by Germans and originally named New Nuremburg (1529). There seems to be a long connection with Germans. It is also the centre of the Venezuelan oil industry which boomed in the early 20th Cent, mostly under the auspices of Royal Dutch Shell.
Best wishes

Thank you Richard,

A very good hint, just read what Wikipedia has to tell. So it become more clear why a company from Hamburg went to Maracaibo.
