The style and markings are indeed Tuareg, who do inhabit or move through a section of Morocco, where this style of koummya is usually found.
This one is a little unusual in that it has so much Tuareg features. Thanks for posting this koummya. |

Hi Stu.
That is a really nice looking Koummya. I especially like the detail on the scabbard. The overall craftmanship looks very good. I don't have enough knowledge of the blades to make a more accurate assesment as to it's origin. But it looks like you and Battara have already I.D.'ed this one. ![]() I see what you mean by both cutting edges being a bit shorter than the typical Moroccan style. Is that common with Tuareg style blades ? Rick. |

Very nice. Definitely a Koummya. I've not seen one like that before. Good find!
