Hello fellow forumites, here are some pics of my latest Navaja purchase. It wont be in my hands until next week but I couldn't wait to share it. This little fellow is 34 inches closed and a tiny 64 inches open....tiny NOT!!! I'll be sure to add more detailed photos for those who are interested in these exotic knives.
As guessed by myself and indicated by fellow forumite Chris, this would be a cutlers display piece from the late 1800's. I am hoping someone can share their knowledge with regards to the images of soldiers on the blade? Who they are and from what period and country they are from?

all the best
