Ibrhiim, I'm a bit surprised that they are all three tourist items. I'm familiar with and agree that the pressed rolled foil ones are high profit, low labor works.
This why this forum is an ongoing learning process. Thank you both,

Hi Steve, Your latest pics indeed show the applied decoration. In your first lot it looks like rolled decoration. So is it silver (as mine is) or as Ibrahiim suggests some other cheaper metal? I have seen (and handled) the foil type and they definitely are only tourist, and very easy to pick from the real thing. I would think by the look of yours that it is probably silver, so therefore maybe a boys Khanjar. I note that the label on the frame states Sterling so one must assume that it is.
