Middle Eastern Knife??

[Dom]

Good Day, allow me to be an disturbance element
Sorry Gentlemen (David R & NovelsRus)
you are agreed on the fact that the scrollwork and lettering are
very similar to that found on several, Indian daggers and sabers

but you seems have ignored that,
also, it's concerning Syrian daggers from Golan Mountains; the "Magdali"

David has mentioned that; "star symbol very like the Wilkinson sword quality mark" ... YES
but before, long time before Wilkinson this symbol was
- Salomon seal, for Yiddish
- Soliman seal, for Muslims

it's a "TALISMANIC" mark ... before a "quality mark"
it's supposed, to banish the bad eye, far away from his possessor

here, some pics about "Magdali",
for "Soliman seal" I have some Islamic talismanic bowls engraved with some time,
on both side (inside/outside), and are Ottomans, have been presented here

for me this dagger, could be Syrian, 20th century ... modern version for "Magdali"

all the best
