Description

Unusual pairing of commemorative presents from the Saudi Arabia Olympic Committee for the Los Angeles 1984 Summer Olympics—an English-Arabic metallic presentation plaque with an embossed design of the emblem of Saudi Arabia, 8.25 x 10, affixed to a slightly larger felt mat and housed in its original presentation case; and an ornate letter opener in the shape of a jambiya or dagger, 9.75″ in length, with golden hilt bearing the Olympic rings to either side, and the sheath featuring gilt lettering in English and Arabic. Includes its original presentation case. The protective liner to the plaque is beginning to peel, and the adhesive to plaque is losing some of its integrity.
