Hi,

Any comments about giant koumiya unlike the one sold by Oriental arms?

He said: "The actual use of such big Koumaya dagger is still a mystery: It is definitely old, early 20 C. and not a tourist souvenir. Is it for ceremonial use? or may be an advertisement to a Koumaya maker?? In any case it is an unusual and interesting authentic item."

I agree it's an authentic stuff. Some of them have real good blades others don't, but they are all old. early 20 C & end of 19th.

Best,
Kubur
