Mariok-No, I haven't tried the auction houses yet.  I will see if there are any within a reasonable distance that sound like they might be able to tell me anything and/or give me a value.  Thank you for the suggestion.

Rats.  I just checked online and of course there is no auction houses in this area at all for some reason.

You could see if you can find any with an in-house specialist and then e-mail them together with a couple of good quality photos, saying that you are interested in selling. They won't be able to tell from your e-mail where you live. If it turns out to be at all valuable then you'd probably want to sell it through an Auction House that runs specialist auctions.
I've never ever not had a reply from a local Auction House with some info and a guide price. Whereas, I haven't been too lucky with places like Sotherby's .. as became apparent on a thread a while back.

Good luck!

You can find the style of your daggar/knife all over the middle east...
variations of the Mugal Jambia Daggars, kirpans, etc.
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Finally got the pics done so here they are.  Does this help anyone to have any more information at all?  Once again, I want to thank everyone for all their help.
