Salaams harrywagner ... I cannot see the age you are attributing this dagger. It may not pass the silver test in my opinion as it looks like a mixture... The work on the metal surface is no where near the other examples... There is no patina on the weapon so far as I can see... It looks modern as does the blade decoration. Can you say where you got it? As in all things photograhic, however, I could be wrong...  Checking against the following library details~ http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=koummya http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...roccan+daggers see#6 for hilt varieties. and for more simply type Moroccan daggers into search.

Thanks for the links and info. I agree with you about my knife's origin and age. That it was older must have been wishful thinking on my part.  Best regards, Harry |
