    I picked this up recently. Can't seem to find anything similar online. It appears to be turned on a lathe and engraved by hand. The handle is attached with pins. 20230220_195003.jpg 20230220_195042.jpg 20230220_195019.jpg 20230220_195024.jpg 20230220_195015.jpg
    No obvious marks. Does anyone have any idea of its origins?

    From the colour I would say brass rather than copper and probably Asian.

    Thanks dave. Looks a bit on the red side but I guess you can get different compositions of brass or maybe tarnished? I'll try searching for that instead. And yes I agree, it does have an Arabic look.
