I agree it's an authentic stuff. Some of them have real good blades others don't, but they are all old. early 20 C & end of 19th.

Salaams Kubur see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...roccan+daggers and or type in Moroccan daggers to Forum search. I think it is the "Gendarmes Hat" style. Shown at my post on #6. (Chapeau de Gendarme)
