Hello BerberDagger,
There was a discussion at some point about a koummiya like yours, and someone mentioned that the blade with fullers along the edges at the forte may be Spanish. I like the way this one looks...I'm actually looking to get one, but the ones I've seen on ebay and those I've held were pretty bad. The stamp on yours is quite interesting, maybe someone can tell us about it. Emanuel Last edited by Manolo; 24th January 2007 at 05:47 PM. Reason: name mistake |

Welcome to the forum!
Make sure to search both this as well as the old forum (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=6) for interesting threads! There are a few folks here with extensive knowledge on Koummyas - I'd like to hear more often of these nice bades though! I assume you've already seen this article http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/koummya/index.html by our host Lee. This seems to be a nice piece! Could you please measure the thickness of your blade with calipers? This helps to differentiate serious blades from more decorative/ceremonial ones. Recent tourist stuff is often more easily spotted by crappy blades (which actually don't deserve to be called blades); older tourist stuff can be anything in between AFAIK... Do you have another example of this stamped mark? More often these seem to originate from stamped European blades which seem to have been prized by Moroccan makers. Regards, Kai |
