Hello Justin !

I like the shabriya theroy to, it places it closer to Iraq.

I just noticed that the pommel looks a little like the type on a tebu dagger.

Now looking at it more closly it does appear to be a shabriya relative, perhaps this typ of shabriya comes from Iraq, is brass used on shabriya hilts?
Just a thought. This dagger is a mystery wrapped in an inigma!

Hello All!

I was looking through some of the old Ebay links I saved into my computer and found one for a recurving shabriya with the same trianguler pommel and small metal ring like on mine, unfortunetly I forgot the link r elese I whould have posted it and with well over a hundred Ebay saves in my computer finding it wilkl be great amounts of trouble. Now that it is a shabriya that at least puts it on a continent and geograpical region, now to pin it to a country. Any guesses?

Cant help with pinning it to a country but,I have also seen the triangular pommel and the little pommel ring on shibriyas before,and yes they did use brass on them.I have a small and fairly new one that is covered{sheath and hilt} with sheet brass,not brass scales like this one though.....

Perhaps it is from Jordan.

I guess this daggers origen will remain a mystery?

The use of brass and 'X' shapes still seems african. Perhaps Mali, a dagger made by locals in imatation of the arab jambiya/shbariya. HELP!
