Hi All

The jambiya arrived today and it is one sweet piece of steel :D The hilt and upper part of the scabbard are heavy silver with brass herring bone chain and brass lower half. The blade is still quite sharp with a convex edge. The wood underneath the silver is either ebony or African blackwood. The whole package is quite heavy about 2 pounds or more. I will take some better pics this weekend to post I cleaned up the silver today and it came out real nice.
Funny thing the belt has a zippered pouch on the inside with a YKK zipper so I figure 1950 for the belt but the dagger could be older.
