Yemen dagger

[Gary Varner]

I just purchased this Yemen dagger. I know it isn't in very good condition and shows quite a lot of wear and wondered if anyone might have any comments about it--is it Yemen? Age? Thanks,

Gary

This is a type worn by Yemeni's around Aden and the Protectorates. They have an Indian influence with the tooled leather scabbards.

As opposed to the majority of similar daggers on e-bay, this one looks truly original, used, abused and not "freshened-up".
This is the best kind, in my mind.
Congratulations!

Used and abused I would say! Thank you! I like original items in my collections and I don't think you can get more original than this. It certainly isn't a tourist piece.
