Bichaq Tourist or authentic?
 

The hilt workmanship on this one varies a lot from the sheath which is an unknown material, essentially one piece construction and lacks the quality of the dagger. What region, did it originate from ? What do the five point stars circle, etc. mean? At first, I thought the fact that the silver work hid some marks on the blade that the blade was are a replacement.
Now it seems the blade is right; but, the sheath is either very regional or much later. Your comments and input is welcome.
Thanks, Steve

Hi,

I don't know exactly what do you mean by authentic. It is a bosnian dagger from the end of the 19th century, made as a souvenir for those who travel for pleasure... :shrug:

Whatever, it is of beautiful craftmanship and personally if I would found it, it would be a part of my collection. So Congratulations, you have a nice piece there! :)

My information tells me it is from Focha Bosnia and from the 19th century like Valjhun says.

The scabbard is right for this type of piece. It may be tarnished silver also if not brass or very low grade silver if I read the pictures right.

I like these for the silver filigree and corals used. Nice piece.

Thanks
 

Thank you, both for your assurances and your helpful responses. Steve
