I consider them to be "pieces made for turists", as I have also seen them in piles in turistic centre Djerba (Tunisia), in Tunis (capital) and in Tripolis (Libya). You can, buy it in handicraft shops in hotels, there, too. Sorry and regards, Martin

Martin I am sure this is a tourist piece but I wanted it as a companion for my tokouba. When it arrives I'll check to see if it has Made in China on it   Lew |

Hi Lew
that example you've just posted is the 'best' recently made Tuareg dagger that I've seen. The blade (even though it has a 'ground' fuller) especially. Assuming the blade is tempered and hardened, a very nice piece.....a bit pricey though  David |
