Bronze North African dagger...tourist or real?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Found this on eBay....described as a Morrocan bronze dagger, I could not find info on bronze weapons in and around Africa. Looks to be a vintage piece and seems fairly well made. Is this just tourist.....or something alittle better :shrug: The sheath seems to have a Western Africa 'look'
With the many tribal traditions surrounding the touching of steel/iron ..I wondered whether this could be ceremonial?

I do not believe this was taken immediately with buy it now!!!! Probably the best bargain you are going to see all year. I tend not to watch US listings {shipping}. I am broke right now but for sure even I could rustle up $24 :eek:
