Bronze / Brass knife and sheath - where and when? What's the green stuff?
Everybody else at the auction house turned up their nose at this. The estate had so many other nice antiques that I thought this one may have gone unrecognized.
The pictures pretty much say it all. The blade looks very brass-like to me. The blade is sharp, but not real sharp. It seems as if it would be better at poking and hacking than sawing and slicing. Short sword or machette? I saw that green stuff once on some jewelry marked as 14K. I sent it to ARA, it's not gold.
