Koummya with leather scabbard - need help to place this one!

Thanks, Ariel! Yes, the hilt is quite different and also the decorations appear much cruder - I pondered wether this might be a "villager" from some remote area... The blade is really nice though!

I just sent Artzi an email and hope he'll drop by! I was hoping to get some hints to follow up upon before having to waste Artzi's time but this seems to be more difficult than I thought!

Regards,
Kai

Any comments more than welcome - let's solve that riddle!

Fascinating piece... I wonder if its a Berber rendition of the koumya?
