Trip to Jordan

Nice Kurdish Jambiya dagger. The fittings do not look new, as on most similar jambiyas in most Middle Eastern markets nowadays, and perhaps early to mid 20th Century. Also, good quality old blade. The quality is well above average tourist level, and the price is also reasonable, especially if the scabbard is silver and the blade is wootz!!!. Definitely a good (and nice looking) find.
