An unusual Algerian dagger that I believe would date to the first quarter of the 20th century. This piece is in very nice condition with some slight staining to its long straight double edged blade. The blade is of a flattened diamond cross section with an iron cross guard and a simple brass ferrule. The wooden hilt is decorated with an inlay with white metal wire (that I believe to be silver) in a wavy pattern.The two piece wooden scabbard is held together with pierced brass bands and the wood is decorated with geometric carving. I am asking $125.00 plus $10.00 shipping to the lower 48states. Overseas shipping will be calculated on where you live. I only charge the actual shipping cost with no handling fees. All serious offers will be considered. I can be contacted either by PM or emailed at
