Thank you for the teachings on Flyssas and collector's enthusiasm. My basic worry at buying this piece was, prior to its identification, to ensure it was a genuine one. This is not so far from Moroco, where they make Jambyas in large quantities for the tourist trade.
In a different position we can see clearly that the blade has "sliced", by the sharp edge area ... the spine continues solid ... reason why it was found reasonable vto repair, ven maybe by the knife maker, at making the piece ... even the weld "patch" was decorated like the rest.
The brass handle shows a certain age patina.
Could i consider this, a 19th century small active Flissa?
Thank you
It has a 9" blade
