A new to me Sabiki or Dharia.
Birmingham Antique Arms Fair yesterday, and a good day out it was. I bought this within the first half hour which is unusual for me, I prefer to buy after a good peruse of the whole market, but I could not leave this on the table. A decent Sabiki, now cleaned up and on my wall.

Hi David
This is my dharia, fairly recently i think.Bought it for the blade. Your piece is older i guess, the silverware seems to me to be of better quality. regards Marc |

Thanks for the additional information.Over the past year my interest in Arabic weapons has increased. I bought a few khanjars and a jambiya (hollow blade). Almost all the info i have comes from this forum. There are a number of interesting books about these weapons, but they are difficult to find in Europe. Regards Marc |
