Description from the seller

Authentic traditional Moroccan dagger, called a Koummya, an iconic bladed weapon of Berber and Maghrebi culture.

This model has a dark exotic wood handle, set between a guard and a large engraved brass pommel in the traditional “gendarme’s hat” shape.

The scabbard is made entirely of silver-plated metal, chased with foliate scrolls, interlacing patterns, and stylized motifs.

The steel blade has a double curve, with a single edge along the first half and a double edge towards the point.

The dagger is in good condition.

It dates from the mid-20th century
