Have received the dagger already some days ago, nice item with a lot of patina and wear to the scabbard. 23,5 cm inside scabbard with a blade from 13 cm, no fullers. Here some more pictures, hopefully to receive some comments!

Thank you Russel,
they seems to be rare, I've seen only very few in the last years for sale. And by this one the price was correct. Regards, Detlef |

There is a near identical example in "Catalogue of Ethnographical Specimens" by W.O. Oldman, No. 119, Vol. X, entry #36.

Thank you Jimmy and Rick!
 Rick, I don't have the Oldman catalogue, when you don't mind could you post a picture from this page? Regards, Detlef |

Hello Detlef,
I agree this is a good, old siraui example. From the pics it seems that the inner (concave) bevel is the primary edge; this would make this blade a kind of variant since classic siraui blades have their primary edge on the outer curve (convex side). Regards, Kai |
