Hi Stuart
particular name ...
- "khandjar" Egyptian - as per as "les armes orientales" by Iaroslan Lebedynsky

otherwise, I found the name;

- "Egyptian Palache" but for complete set of 3 items - as per as "Islamic Weapons - Magreib to Moghul" by Anthony C. Tirri

from our side, the translation is in check ... details with pics

all the best, and congratulations for that nice pick up

Sorry for delay but the mails are real slow these days! After a bit of blade cleaning here is the Egyptian dagger. Some minor damage to hilt top and scabbard but generally not in too bad condition. Only 1 tourquoise missing and all corals are there!
