undefinedHello everyone,
I am currently n the process of trying to catalogue my collection and have discovered quite a few items that I am unsure about and hope that you may be able to advise me as to origin etc. The first item is a Jambiya which I believe to be North African but I am not sure. It is quite a big one being nineteen and a half inches long with a blade thirteen and a half inches long x two inches wide. The hilt and scabbard are covered with embossed brass sheet which seems to have been silvered most of which has worn off. The workmanship is very good with the most striking feature being the crocodile incised on both sides of the blade. I would be grateful for your comments. Thanking you in anticipation Miguel |
