Attractive, but not an old piece.

I have no expertise in the quality or antiquity of edged weapons, but I have to say it is very pretty. It has some personality!

I recognise the photos, even with the copyright photoshoped out, This knife is still listed for sale on Milke Longs website. Perhaps you shoud get him to mark it as sold?

As Item 104676, Moroccan all metal Jambiya dagger with sheath £85.00
Overall length 17 inches and with an 8.5 inch blade, the handle and sheath is formed from white metal and well engraved with floral designs.

So its probably not actualy silver.

Well, the first problem i see is that you are claiming this to be "good arab silver". As long as Michael D. Long has been in business i would image that he is very well capable of doing a simple silver test and knows the difference between real silver and generic white metal. My question is why would you claim so emphatically that this is real silver?
