Dagger
Should be very grateful for opinions about this dagger....
Bought in a trip to Saudi Arabia back in the late 1950's. Scabbard is solid brass. Interesting handle with multicolor inlays and panels bordered with wire. Best, Stefan Sweden |

Syrian, looks new for '60's, Plastic grips?. I am not fond of these, too flashy and look touristy even if they are not.

Hi Stefan,
Yes, it's a very recent majdali, handle will be like from Kronckew stated plastic. See for much better and older examples here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=23708 Regards, Detlef |
