Rare and Unusual Moroccan Dagger - 8928

This interesting dagger is a rare variant of the Moroccan Koumaya curved dagger. The unusual part is the blade shape: It is heavy, deeply curved, single edge (the edge is on the concave side) with a fuller along the spine. Very much in the shape of a bird of prey claw, (or that of the Velociraptor in the Jurasic Park ). 8 inches blade length 13 inches total length, hilt and scabbard of chased silver in very typical Moroccan design. Very good condition. Minor dents on the silver. Cracks and bents on the pommel side. |
