Blades found in Marrakech, Morocco

Thanks again, Carlos. You are the best!

Jose, will do that for sure. And I found a barung at the Victor Balaguer museum from the 1880's Spain exhibition in which the description in the tag is surely most interesting. Am just organizing the pics and will post soon.

Nathaniel, thanks for the comments. And that's exactly what I felt (kid in a candy shop). The other thought was, 'too many blades, too little time'

And yes, the price was very high. If my wife was not giving me the dagger look as I was caressing them, I would have succumbed to the temptation ... and will have to tell the kids to stop schooling for a few years

Back to Moroccan blades, I stumble upon this shop in Barcelona which sells mostly replicas. I was planning to buy an ersatz koummya, but there was none.

Just the same, it was fun looking at such a room full of 'toys'.

Here's some more pics from that shop, plus two pics from another shop along the same street.

The last two are from "Fuji Esports", a Martial Arts shop very close to Plaça Sant Jaume.
Ah, the memories...

Thank you for sharing your trip with us, Lorenz

Thanks too, Marc!

By the way, in all the museums I have visited here in Spain, the staff are super-helpful

To all: I visited this morning the Museo Nacional de Antroplogia located in Madrid. And I found several related items (i.e., African) --
