I recognise the photos, even with the copyright photoshoped out, This knife is still listed for sale on Milke Longs website. Perhaps you shoud get him to mark it as sold?

As Item 104676, Moroccan all metal Jambiya dagger with sheath £85.00
Overall length 17 inches and with an 8.5 inch blade, the handle and sheath is formed from white metal and well engraved with floral designs.

So its probably not actualy silver.

Well, the first problem i see is that you are claiming this to be "good arab silver". As long as Michael D. Long has been in business i would image that he is very well capable of doing a simple silver test and knows the difference between real silver and generic white metal. My question is why would you claim so emphatically that this is real silver?

An interesting point should be made, although it has nothing to do with this dagger, its authenticity or materials used.
Michael Long was a very nice guy, and very knowledgable in certain fields. He was the one make decisions for Trident Arms and Micheal Long Ltd.
However, 'Michael Long ltd' is now a company that has continued trading after Michael sadly passed away, taking his knowledge and expertise with him.

As a client of this company I have to say here that among lot of items I bought twice I found wrong description. Once it was a nice pleasant surprise (and gain for me) and once it was totally unpleasant and I send it back.
