Antique Ornate Silver Omani Jambiya Khanjar Dagger Knife Horn Saudi Arabian Isis - $1,000 - (Versailles, MO)

THANK YOU for viewing my listing. I rely on photos to convey as much information as possible; and, make every effort to provide accurate condition descriptions. I keep my listings short, but precise. Please ask questions if you need further information. I am not an expert in grading or identification of many items, but provide as much accurate information as possible to represent each listing. This antique silver dagger was purchased in Saudi Arabia around 1980. The seller represented it as a fully silver giraffe horn shaped handle and sheath. I am not certain of the silver content; I would guess it at sterling since it does not tarnish badly. Being hand-made it does have a number of minor flaws. Please study pictures and ask questions if you need further information. I have marked an area of damage on the handle with a #1. It appears to have been bent by force or dropping. The #2 marking highlights what appears to be a manufacturing flaw, where the silver was not laid perfectly. I would consider the flaws minor, as far as collecting purposes. Overall measurements are about 11 inches tall by 7 inches wide. The blade is 5 3/4 inches long. This dagger weighs 13.4 ounces. I would estimate that at least 75% of that is silver weight--but that is a guess. I usually ship within 24 hours of payment. Occasionally, appointments or other obligations extends my shipping time to no more than two days.
