There is not much I can say except I bought it in a poor condition; a lot of dirt on the blade with a little that looked like rust on the marks and too dry leather on the wooden scabbard..

After reviving the leather on the scabbard , cleaning the blade without trying to damage its marks, you can see the result in the enclosed picts.

Total length 39 cm
Scabbard 26 cm
Dagger 37 cm
Handle 12,5 cm ( handle is made out of bone)
Blade 24 cm
Marks 7 cm on each side of the blade

As for the origin and age I have no clue at all...

Perhaps another primitive and obscure daggers from the Middle East like Mr. Motan advised previously?

So forum...kindly requested to advise on origin and age, thank you very much!
