Please visit the links below to look at the pictures of this knife. I need
it identified and if you could tell me how much it's worth I'd really
appreciate it. I may sell it, also, if the price is right. It's a very old
knife. It's entirely hand made. The sheath is made of leather, with hand-
detailing. I'm not sure what country it's from or who made it. If you can
identify it, please send me an e-mail to g_r_u_n_g_e_turtle@yahoo.com.
Thanks.

In article ,

Kris is right on about the pictures, very hard to see any detail.

At first glance though it looks like a Turkish or that part of the world
knife that was available in a lot of import shops in the 60's and 70's,
mostly for wall hanging.

No offense, but even after seeing all of your images, I have no idea
what your item looks like. Maybe if you took the item outdoors into
better light, photographed it on a plain background, and paid attention
to the focus, it might help.

What I do see looks like a Turkish souvenir item, allowed to become
quite rusty. Better images might glean better ideas from others.
