Hi Norman
it seems that our two daggers, have more or less the same origin, although they resemble
be it of dagger of adornment, I want to believe,
the blade did not make me a great impression
apart from the "cartouche" with the date,
it's what decided me to buy,
other reason to purchase it was,
a real resemblance with an other dagger with me, clearly identifiable, as Ottoman/Egyptian ("Mamluk")
