Middle-east dagger?
Now since I am not very familiar with middle-east weapons I wonder if you could help to identify this.
The handle is most likely horn and the scabbard seems to be silver plated. There are some repairs in the scabbard and blade fittings. The blade weights exactly 300 grams and is 30 cm long, the hilt is another 12,5 cm so totally 42,5 long. There is simple decorations in the scabbard and handle. The blade has a dull false edge and a single fuller. |

Tomik, could you post pictures of the sword in the background of your first picture as well? Is it a Tibetan sword as is being discussed on this thread? http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2178
