Albanian Balli Kombetar "Kama"dagger

pavle · 3rd August 2006, 03:59 PM

Hi everybody!

Purchased a genuine Kama knife in Debar (MK) it was used by Balli Kombetar
irregulars aswell as 21st ss skanderbeg men, question : can anyone just come even close to giving an estimated taxation of its value ?

It's so rare i even can't find information on the web.
No pics available because i left the dagger in Macedonia due to strict customs laws.

Without a picture it is difficult to know what is about.

I have a feeling we are not supposed to provide financial information. Am I wrong?

Well any info will come in handy, but since i allready know where it's from
and from who, i only am interested in the fact that i didn't pay to much for it besides its so rare nobody has given me a historical opniion or estimation of its rarity besides OT comments who are not exactly helping me out, if you guys don;t know where can i asl my questions then?

Welcome to the forum, pavle.

Without photos I doubt you'll get any helpful comments anywhere.

As for appraisals, we don't provide those publically, but anyone with an opinion they'd like to share can contact you via email or PM.

As soon as the dagger is at my home adress i'll send some pics of it right away, but for starters there is just only one specific albanian kama knife so if anyone is related to that topic please feel free to send me some info via mail or posts on this great forum!

All the best

I am mazed that there are several kinds ok kama knifes (kama must be the main term used for such balkan knives) they only thing left for me to do is show the actual pics , but this would have to wait for a couple of weeks...

All the best.
