Hi Dom

When i go to Lisbon and i visit the old weapons shop, i allways notice they have one of these,which i don't buy because of its modernity and aparent low quality.
It is not incized but has some koftgari traces, both in the sheath as in the outer blades. Beg. XX century. 250 euros.
The amazing thing is that the guy puts a name on it, something i don´t see in the previous threads under this subject.
He calls it a North India "Maomé" ( Mohamed ) jambya.
Regards
Fernando

The dagger seems older to me probably 1st half of the 20th century but it is a low quality looking tourist piece.
