If I follow what I got on the forum and the two books that I have (Elgood and Gracie).
This kind of jambiya exist at least since the 19th.
The later ones were made of plain metal iron or brass, then we have the filigree ones made by the Jews with some stamps at the back of the scabbard. Then after 1940ties low quality work...
Is it too simplistic? Do you have more information or more simply some examples to post??? It could be very useful for all... and for me

Hi Kubur,
I think that I may have one or two of these but I did not know they were called Thouma. I will try and root them out and send some photos in the next day or so.
