Turkish/ greek dagger or North african genoui ?
Hello dear members,
I found today at flea market this nice item for few buckets, it was just for decoration, the blade is not a good one but the scabbard and the hilt are really nice and ( for me ) and are well made, maybe not too recent. The scabbard seems to be silvered brass the hilt, maybe silver parts on horn or really hard wood. First I thought it was a genoui style Moroccan dagger especially for the hilt shape but I saw months ago in an auction house a turkish dagger with the same tip end on the scabbard, it was said to be turkish or ottoman greek origin ( sadly no picture) Kubur ?? |
