			Just as an example my recent jambiya. 
		
		
		
			They don't grow on trees but I count myself lucky to find two amazing specimens shortly after each other. This thouma has lived more than the previous one but of a very good quality silverware. No marks to be found. The blade is solid for a change but not too great quality and does not fit well so strongly suspect not original to the rest. A surprise was the belt which appeared to be embroidered with silver thread after a comment from a collector friend. Regards Marc  |

			Another nice Jambiya. Perhaps not quite the quality of the other one, but still very nice. The hilt looks old also with some of the original silver pins still there.
