My first Koummya
Gentlemen,
my first post and my first Koummya.
I am a collector of military antiques originally but those Koummyas caught me.
In the neighbourhood, I got this one for practically nothing.
It is hardly worth collecting regarding the blade but it serves its purpose as a studying object.
The seller said it was given to him as a present in Oman some 30 years ago.
My limited knowldege tells me it is a Moroccan style dagger.
At the same time it is not a classic Koummya.
What do you think?
What region is this style of decoration typical for?
Thanks in advance,
taube.
