This was acquired in Morocco. Does this qualify as a Telek ?. The blade is substantial and possesses a strong spring. I suspect this steel is of a European source with two complete fullers on each side. The blade alone is 13.5 inches. It seems rather long for a arm dagger. It has the feel of a real weapon. The grip appears very similar to a post by a “Vandoo” 7/05/2011, of course, the attached photo was of only the hilt. Any opinions as to its age?
