Is There a Specific Term For This Style Of Moroccan Dagger???

[CharlesS]

This is an interesting a rarer form of dagger from Morocco, but I have never heard a term for it, or this style in particular. I am familar, of course, with the koummya and genoui but this dagger does not fit perfectly into either of those categories, though closer to a genoui.

The dagger is robust at 17.5in. and a 10in. blade that appears to be from a cut down sword or bayonet. The hilt is a beefy piece of rhino horn, and all the silver hallmarked, though not particularly impressive in detail.

Any info on this type would be greatly appreciated.

***As an interesting side note, I have spoken with several native Moroccans locally, and while they are very familar with the koummya dagger style, interestingly, none of them had ever heard the term "koummya". Each of them called what we would generally call a koummya by a more Persian name, "khanjar". Just thought that was interesting.
