Hello Bandook,
this isn't a telek but you are correct, it's a Touareg dagger. A telek is an arm dagger so far I know. See for example here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=telek Regards, Detlef |

Hi Bandook,
I think Detlef is right. This is probably not one of the various forms of telek. That particular knife has a cruciform (cross-shaped) hilt, thought to derive perhaps from early Christian influences. The Oriental Arms web site has several examples of the telek for comparison. Ian. |

Hello Bandook,
they come in many variations, do a little bit search here and by Oriental Arms, you will see. The one in the pictures I've just sold so I can post pictures from it. Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 22nd July 2018 at 01:08 PM. Reason: add pic. |

my one I would place middle/second half of the 20th century and I think that your one is of similar age. Best, Detlef |
