THESE COME FROM GUATEMALA IN CENTRAL AMERICA. THE HORN HANDLE AND FIGURE ARE TRADITIONAL FOR THESE, MOST YOU SEE ARE SMALL DAGGERS. THERE MAY BE A POST ON THEM IN THE FORUM TRY A SEARCH FOR GUATEMALA.YOURS IS A NICE EXAMPLE.

Nicely caught Vandoo!!!!
The scabbard looked Mexican to me, but that carved hilt really does look African. Is there some significance to the figure, and does it occur on other items from these regions? |
