Here’s a curious dirk from my collection. It's said to be Turkish, or at least that’s what the description said in the auction where I bought it 20 years ago. The blade is of steel, and has a distinct curve and a slight fuller extending for two-thirds of the length. The hilt seems to be brass, and has a “duck’s head” pommel. Absolutely no decorative marks that I can see. Grateful for any suggestions. My sword book collection is admittedly Western, but has nothing. I posted this in the Turkey section, and had a lot of looks, but no replies. Tom
