One more koummya

[motan]

Hi, I am not a koummya expert, but I will try.
The upside: old, nicely decorated, good quality overall and definately not a souvenier, because it shows signs of use (the wear of the "ears" around the ring, re-sharpening of blade).
The downside: not one of the original traditional styles, but a mix of different styles with some elements that I do not recognise. For example, the pyramids are a feature taken from the "Chapeau de Genndarme" type. The blade is of reasonable quality, but it is quite thin and little less curved than in older types.
Because of all this, I would guess that it is not a 19th c piece, but an early 20th c, but still authentic, well made and nice to look at.

Thanks for all comments. The silver layers at the front side have been partly loose, so I took some superglew to fix them again. Hope that the purist here are able to accept this...........))
