Hello Rick,

I am really no expert regarding this sort of daggers but I see a nice, authentic and "tribal" used dagger with a lot of wear and old repairs, the bend tip of the scabbard I've seen before by old and used pieces. Like Motan said, not a rich mans example but truly a collectible ethnographic dagger with interesting blade. Sorry Stefan, but I think that this one would be a better start to collect koumayas. A better piece with silver will cost more, even today!

Regards,
Detlef

Thank you all for your opinions.... I really appreciate it and that is why a forum like this is so very valuable....
Well, I am very glad that I asked about this Koummya and from that question I think I have learned a lot by just reading the answers and read the other threads of these kind of daggers.
One day I will have at least one Koummya but I am in no hurry....
Meanwhile I collect what I know best and that is old Winchester leverguns and Colt SAA revolvers....

Best,
Stefan

"In summary, old and genuine koummya, but also simple and with lots of wear."


Thank you ALL for your comments and Links. Amazing what you can learn on this Forum. I'm surprised the blade is in as good condition as it is. As mentioned, the dagger does not look abused, just well used in it's daily affairs. LOL

Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated.
