Hello everyone, are there any antique collectors among us here ?
I have this old dagger which i believe to be very rare and would like to know more about it and its value these days. It is a Mamluk dagger from the era of al-Malik al-Nasir Nasir al-Din Muhammad ben Qalawun ..
Nickname: Abu al-Ma'ali (أبو المعالى 1285–1341) who was the ninth Mamluk sultan of Egypt.
As the carving on the dagger says : " العز لمولانا السلطان الملك الناصر "
So any experts in the house who can share more info about it please ?
These are some photos of it :
