Bronze North African dagger...tourist or real?
Found this on eBay....described as a Morrocan bronze dagger, I could not find info on bronze weapons in and around Africa. Looks to be a vintage piece and seems fairly well made. Is this just tourist.....or something alittle better
 The sheath seems to have a Western Africa 'look'With the many tribal traditions surrounding the touching of steel/iron ..I wondered whether this could be ceremonial? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...5177&rd=1&rd=1 Last edited by katana; 12th February 2007 at 05:55 PM. |

I do not believe this was taken immediately with buy it now!!!! Probably the best bargain you are going to see all year. I tend not to watch US listings {shipping}. I am broke right now but for sure even I could rustle up $24
