I LIKE THESE TOO

THEY ARE WELL MADE AND ATTRACTIVE AND SOME HAVE QUITE A LOT OF REAL SILVER ON THEM I HAVE ALSO SEEN AMBER USED IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION. THE ONE YOU SHOW IS THE MORE COMMON FORM FOUND IN MOROCCO AND I HAVE SEEN 3 SIZES THERE.
THERE IS QUITE A LOT OF VARIATION IN TUREG DAGGERS SOME QUITE SIMPLE TO FANCY. THE LARGE EXAMPLE WITH THE CAST BRASS HANDLE AND SCABBARD IS THE TELEK FORM THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE HANDLE OF ANOTHER EXAMPLE. ANOTHER IS A MOROCCAN JAMBAYA BLADE WITH TUAREG HANDLE. THE 3 PICTURES ARE OF A DAGGER SAID TO BE TUAREG AND IT DOES HAVE SOME DESIGN AND WORKMANSHIP BUT I AM NOT SURE IT IS TRULY TUAREG. THE ODD ONE IS SAID TO BE TUREG AND THE SCABBARD DOES LOOK LIKE TUREG WORK. THE PICTURE OF THREE DAGGERS ARE SIMULAR TO YOUR EXAMPLE WITH CARRING STRAPS. A TUAREG WITH CAMEL AND SPEAR.
