Thanks for the fantastic images. Does anyone know if these were diplomatic gifts between governments?

Thank you
Wow! Thank you for sharing these. I did not expect to have anything in my small collection that even remotely resembled anything held by that, or any other, museum. I have an Algerian knife (sword?) that i've never put much stock in. I've always thought of it as a tourist item. Surprisingly it resembles one of the knives on page 1. I have attached that photo and a photo of the Algerian knife for easy comparison. Do these look similar to anyone else, or do I need new glasses? Thanks again. I love these virtual museum visits!

Not just similar, but the same thing. Search the forum for "wedding nimcha" and "flyssa" for information on how these daggers likely came to be Emanuel |
