My first koummya

Well my first koummya was really crap.
Yours is not bad, and ethnographic for sure.
The dagger is good, the scabbard less.
I would say for the dagger around 1900, more or less.
But the scabbard and the ferrule look more recent 1920-30ties.
On your photos it seems that the upper part of the blade was acid etched...
I can see some pattern or decorations.
Good patina on the olive or argan wood grip and descent blade.
well done!
