Vintage Handmade North African Tuareg-Style Ceremonial Dagger with Sheath For Sale

Vintage handmade North African ceremonial or dress dagger with its original decorated sheath.
The dagger measures approximately 12 inches overall, with the sheath measuring approximately 7.5 inches. The blade is approximately 12.5 inches long in its sheath.Features include:
- Hand-engraved geometric decoration on one side of the blade
- Brass guard and pommel with original aged patina
- Carved leather-covered wooden sheath with brass fittings
- Matching original sheath
- Handmade constructionThe blade is intentionally not sharpened along the edges, with only the tip being sharpened. The edges are thick and squared, suggesting it was made as a ceremonial or dress dagger rather than a fighting knife.Based on its style and construction, I believe it is a mid-20th-century North African (possibly Tuareg) ceremonial dagger, though I cannot guarantee the exact origin or age. Please examine the photos and judge for yourself.Condition is good for its age, with expected wear, oxidation, and patina. The dagger and sheath remain together and display very well.Please message with any questions or if you\'d like additional photos.
