Antique Kurdish Islamic Dagger?

Profile picture for user Lovejoy
By Lovejoy, 23 October, 2018
Accurate Description of Item
One Turkish Dagger
Appraiser Remarks
Based on your images this dagger is Turkish and is not likely as old as it looks, most like this were made for sale in Street markets that catered to Tourists since the 1920's, most of them were brought back as souvenirs by businessmen, members of the Military and Tourists since World War Two. Look closely for markings though, there should be some to indicate the silver content of the sheath. That said, most like this tend to sell for under $75.00 and decorator pieces.
Estimated Value
$50.00- $75.00
