Islamic tribla dagger. In my estimation ti dates from around the mid 19th century, but please make up your own mind about this.
The dagger measures approx 12 inches ( 310 mm) long, and is made from steel with an engraved metal & bone (or more probably a similar material of animal origin) handle. The workmanship is outstanding. The blade is very (very) sharp and has etched and engraved designs upon the re-enforcing rib along the back. The metal work on the handle is similarly engraved and the base of the hnadle has a skull cracking stud protruding from it. This was clearly a knife that meant business! It has a nice old patina to it and the animal material on the handle is in good condition with no splits or repairs. I do not know its exact origins, but it has an islamic, persian, or middle eastern loko about it to me. This is a great vintage dagger and it would make a fine addition to any collection. Please ese the photos for condition and type.There si no reserve. Please do not ask me to stop the sale and slel to you before the end of the auction, to be fair to everyone, i don't do that.
