Thanks Ed
I have seen this very good thread.
So if I follow you, this kind of dagger could be from the end of 19th c.?
It'll be nice! I would like to have the opinion of some members specialist of Yemeni jambiya. I can see some cultural links with Yemen...
The problem with African weapons is that they get a patina very quickly and even for an old fox like me, it's difficult to see if they are old or not...
