Hi Burt
I will try the best to get it, hope so, that somebody else will do it,
because my translator is in Cairo until mid of March
I ll forward a pic, and request her help,
but it's under reserve
to illustrate my comments about fish design on Libyan silver bracelet,
here, I add pic's
on spot, the explanations about that "fish" was "mark of the jeweler" (?)
but could be also, a sign of prosperity (?)

My opinion is that this object is a crude knife made ​​to open the correspondence from the office. Not a self defense weapon but can be put on a panoply. A very nice knife.

Good morning Burt
the translation is done for a part
- one word not read
- "AL SALAM" either "PEACE" or "GREETING"
