    Can anyone identify this 13" long Islamic enameled silver metal ceremonial dagger? (Unmarked!) NOTE: The casing kinda looks like celluloid! (see photos!). Thank you!

    Anton, I wonder why you would think Islamic or ceremonial. Frankly I don't see anything that would indicate either.
    It looks like a souvenir khoummiya type dagger to me. The blade looks North African, khoumiya blades have those two 'notches'.
    The hilt and sheath could be dyed bone with base metal decorations inlaid with glass paste. There are no religious symbols, Islamic or otherwise.
