Exactly, sort of diplomatic gifts like the pistols and long guns ...

This link shows more koummyas with the same quality blades and as is esplained, all have obviously been made for presentation purposes. My items all but one come from the collection of the former tennis Champion Baron von Cramm, who was married with the then richest women of the world Barbara Hutton. Cramm had since 1951 a transport firm in Egypt and so I think he bought these daggers in the fifties or maybe shortly before.
