Hi Marc!
I also have a jambiya that does not fit the sheath. The sheath is presumably from the early 20th century, made of silver with open filigree work. The inlay of the sheath is very typical for Saudi daria (or sabiki) daggers, which are also called the Wahhabi dagger. Presumably the work of Jewish jewelers from Yemen, they moved to Israel when it was born in 1949. The jambiya itself is younger, presumably from the mid-20th century, the handle of the jambiya, traditional for these sheaths, has a different design. Perhaps the blade is original and the handle was replaced due to its breakage for some reason. Regards, Yuri |

Hi Yuri
Nice asib jambiya from the coastal region in western Yemen according to Gracie's book. Jambiya's that are not original with the sheath is commonplace due to all kinds of reasons. Misschie a jambiya with rhinoceros hilt sold out of need for money and replaced with a cheap piece to still carry the jambiya, who knows. Regards Marc |

Found this jambiya on Oriental arms site (sold) with a stamp somewhat similar to mine. This one could possibly be from Yahya Amrya according to the site. Just trying to do some searching, anyone any ideas?

A lot of viewers but no one who can confirm anything regarding the silver stamp if it is a stamp at all. The objects I post must meet my criteria , is it qualitative and interesting enough to post hoping to contribute something and can learn something from the more experienced members. I have found much on the forum that was not available elsewhere.
Regards Marc |
