DHARIA DAGGER for SALE

kahnjar1 · 2nd August 2015, 11:52 PM

A very nice Dharia dagger likely from South Western Arabia complete with original belt.
The dagger has a horn handle, and is of above average quality with very nice silverwork, and a good quality blade. The blade itself is unusually narrow for a Dharia blade.
The belt and scabbard have seen some wear over the years, but with some careful restoration, will come up well.
The silver and brass plates on the scabbard appear to have been a later addition, but are definitely not of recent manufacture. There is some "split" damage to the edge of the scabbard and the lower leather "ties" which attach the scabbard to the belt are dry and broken.
Dimensions: Overall in scabbard 435mm
Handle 105mm
Blade 220mm
Blade WIDTH at handle 42mm
Asking US$395 including worldwide shipping.
