Rawit for sharing and opinion
Today I win this small dagger by epray, I think it is a Rawit from Batak people.
Here the e-bay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT And the pictures for the future. Comments are welcome. Regards, Detlef |

Yup, a rawit!
Congrats, Detlef, nice bargain!
Difficult to estimate the age from the pics: possibly not antique - IMHO a genuine, well carved example though. Regards, Kai |

Thank you Kai, I have had as well my doubts but like you write it's difficult to say by the pics and sheath & handle are carved from horn which make it more difficult to see the age.  Regards, Detlef |

I was looking at this but the age is questionable? The carving is quite fresh looking and the blades quality does seem a bit off to me

Hello Lew, like I write before, I have my doubts too. Will ask the seller if he know something about the history and hope to tell more when I hold it in my hands. Regards, Detlef |
