Mid 20 C. but of good quality. Blade 5 ½ inches, flat diamond cross section with 1 inch ricasso. Black wood and bone handle and brass / copper scabbard. Total length 11 inches. Very good condition. A similar dagger in the British Museum is described as coming from the Bissagos ( Bijagos) Islands, a group of islands off the coast of Guinea – Bissau, but the attribution to these islands is questionable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if these were produced for tourist sales....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>like I said....I&#039;m unfamiliar with this puppy !!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
