beautiful "Dharia" dagger know as "Malsa", the blade is of the "beyd" type my point of view is - hilt and the metal of scabbard might be, is copper, should be silvered at origine dagger contemporary, worn by "Bani Shahr", "Bani Malik", and "Bani Qarn" tribes (KSA) à + Dom |

A question to Dom:
You mention name Malsa and blade type Beyd. In the Saudi book on Islamic swords and armour, they mention several names for this type of Jambiya (Muqafalla, Mufarragha, Dharia, Rashaq,Malsa) and several blade types (Muayyar,Beyd, Nafihi,Shbeyl) without any further explanations. How did they differ from each other? Can you elaborate? |

![]() then, the pic's ... a good magnifying glass ![]() and studies of similarities - hilt shape - design in the middle of the blade I got the chance to have them in hands many time during my 6 years of residence in KSA where there are much more expensive on suk, than in USA or Europe auctions ![]() à + Dom |
