Vintage/Antique British West Africa Knife Handmade Sierra Leone Dagger

Description

Up for sale is a Vintage/Antique Knife, Very Good Overall Used Condition As Shown, Please see photos for details, Hand forged with handmade hand stitched leather like handle & sheath which has become a bit dried and delicate over the years, One side of the blade as well as one side of the sheath is stamped "Product Of British West Africa" as shown, As the story I've been told goes-a proud Sierra Leone individual took the time with some type of punch to tap into the blade on one side Sierra and Leone on the other once Sierra Leone gained their independence in 1961, I believe the knife is much older than 1961, The blade is dull, Measures approx 10" long total with a 6 1/2" blade, Interesting Artifact!
