The reverse of the handle bears Arabic inscription as well as two small loops for hanging the dagger. The pommel is of a beak shape and has two small round finials. The scabbard is of leather and is decorated with woven leather cord in an ‘X’ shape.
L: 12 1/4 in., (31 cm.)
Condition: In good condition overall. Scabbard has some very minor scuffing. Blade and handle have some minor staining. Condition of blade is otherwise original.
