Got this guy recently and what I thought was a nice koummya dagger turned out to be more of a short sword,the hilt and scabbard are brass with thin silver sheet soldered over the brass{you can see both on the pics of the back side} ricasso has engraved brass sheet on it.Hilt set with blue and red glass{not nearly as brightly colored as in pics}.Blade is thick and sturdy although it isnt sharpened my theory is that it is for some parade or ceremonial use its far too well made to be a tourist piece{atleast thats my humble opinion}.Not too many signs of age but I wouldnt be shocked if it was made around the early 1900s.Any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
