If i'm right, the value of the coin is much higher than the knife. The golden coin also indicates a good to high quality of this Jambiya. I would date the Jambiya back to the 19th century or very early 20th century. |

I think Roland is probably right. Can you determine if the coin in gold? You see a lot of brass ones. What does the wood inside the sheath look like? 100 year old wood should be dark and look almost petrified.

Especially hardwood aging is extremely slow. In Germany we have quite wet weather conditions but we also have half-timbered houses, which are hundreds of years old. The house in the picture is from 1617. Roland |
