Koummya with Bayonet blade?
 

I have read that straight blade daggers with a koummaya hilt would be called janwi. Most of the ones I have seen, mainly in this forum, had blades made from French bayonets. However, in this case I do not think this is a bayonet blade.

I wouldn´t call this a koumiyya handle, tough handle and sheat are obviously related to the koumiyyas. Thank you Teodor. I will search in the forum a little more about this item.

It is a koumiyya Gonzalo, but not a very old one so the form of the grip has wandered a little. This is a major problem with studying forms, new developments replace old ones very quickly especially now with the internet available for reference (and copying.) I see these for sale in Morocco but they ask a lot for them. Don't find really good old pieces at all there.

This is a koummya form dagger, modern as noted. As also has been noted, these representations of traditional form weapons are commercially oriented and as with most volume produced items, often subtle variations seek to attract attention of one product vs. another. In many cases of course, it is the personal style imbued by the maker, probably very much as was done in the times when these were actually used weapons.

It seems that the work on these may in some ways reflect artistic license in employing cultural symbolism, which is why the hilt form is so different in this case. A very good book that would add a great deal of information pertaining to this aspect of material culture shown in jewelry styles is,
"Africa Adorned" by Angela Fisher (2004). Incredible photography and great photos showing the forms used in the Sahara, Tuareg styles, Moroccan and others, with great clues for looking at many of these more modern weapon interpretations.

All best regards,
