Need help on a Moroccan dagger / Koummya

Welkome.

I am not an expert about these but I see them really a lot in the NL with so many of the people here having a Moroccan or North African background. If I had a pound (if not a penny) for each one I see, I'd be rich.

This appears to be an above average made piece, nevertheless, I don't think that it is a weapon made very long ago nor it would be a weapon that would have exceeded the tourist market quality.

It is what it is.

We have a page here about Koummyas for you to have a look
