[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 299807, member: 2844"]Yes, South American. Either gaucho or gaúcho (Argentina/Uruguay or Brazil) Although the hilt shape is of (Iberian) Moorish origin, the decoration is not. As I said, it was best to wait for detailed pictures. Never say never.;) It depends on how a blade is used, for instance knife or dagger. In the case of a dagger, the size and mode of attack of the animal one had to ward off, etc. Tuareg centred dagger, 'telek': [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcScLoeiwS3fbWO01Lxkl6ltUfQQhnHL_1ejiicuSmWXHiZole0K5g&sp=9b22efab13fbcc3e124c75348b86f017&anticache=533818[/IMG] Tuareg offset knife: [IMG]https://www.antiquesnavigator.com/archive/2015/04/03/371289774381.jpg[/IMG] Gaucho centred dagger (poignard?), 'facon': [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcTL7rmYO4dRWekqWEwSrwTxK1GkB_Pmv9TBjH0tiwNK84xiuMPjrQ&sp=ef77087da0180d287a1a3cdbe1443492&anticache=534353[/IMG] Gaucho offset knife, 'verijero': [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcS05ide_uEROCfozsSNUswm5URSHvqHB6W5Cnp5_pAn6lwN0A7o&sp=7a65e5048e118dd33851e5ea738220f7&anticache=696873[/IMG][/QUOTE]
