Maker's Mark ID Requested

Hello Geoffrey, Marc and Rob,

Three very fine khoummya. Thank you for sharing them here. Geoffrey's example has a very nice combination of silver and ivory for the fittings. Marc's plainer combination in brass is elegant. Rob's blade is excellent and seems to have some significant age. Quite a lot of variation in style and dress, which suggests to me different makers and perhaps different ages. The idea that this may be a Spanish mark seems worth pursuing. Perhaps some of our Spanish members might like to chip in on this one. If Rob likes, I can send this over to the Euro Forum.

Regards, Ian.
