After some research, I still can't find information on that impish little face on the handle.It looks sort of Disney but I can't find a character to match. It has been in my possesion since approximately 1970's and I can't remember where it was acquired! So your guess is as good as mine!At any rate it should fit into someone's collection. There are some metal spots that need some cleaning as shown in the photos.The blade length measures 29 inches. The blade had an aged hard brown leather case which crumbled some years back.Free Shipping Domestic USA Parcel Post.(5 days)
