Knife I.D and translation requested.

Kubur:

Thanks for the clarification. My Turkish attribution was based on a picture and description in Bernard Levine's book.* He has been wrong before, but generally reliable.

Hi Roy, you were correct in N Africa, Tunisia to be precise as Kubur said. I think it may have some age say late 19th early 20th C. Unable to verify whether it is early tourist or not nor am I able to provide a translation but whatever it is a nice example of the type, thanks for sharing.
Regards
Miguel

Like you Ian, I have found some things wrong in Levine as well.
