You got it right, it's from Czerny's. :)
Remained unsold in the auction and I couldn't resist the temptation... :D

I didn't know they are called "Dharia." Thank you! :)

Wahhabis are not that well known for producing art :-)

A nice piece, work looks Yemeni. Blade as well.

Certainly not Hijazi craftmanship, the region where the Dharia was and is still used.

Thank you very much for your opinion!

I also suspected Yemeni workmanship because of the very nice filigree. :)

Hi Marius,
This link will be of help I think. Also if you use the Forum Search facility you will find other references to these daggers/knives/short swords.....what ever you wish to call them. The one you have is a nice example though I suspect not too old and as Lofty has suggested, is of Yemeni origin rather than Hejazi.
