What is this from?
Dear all,
I have attached a bunch of photos of a dagger that came into my hands. It is very singular and looks middle-easter, possibli asiatic, but I cannot tell. Complete with scabbards. Blade: 25,5 cm long (possibli 27 cm, since tip is missing), 7 cm across ricasso, wavy/ondulated, with irregular shape and line engraving imitating wood lines (not steel, possibly iron, will get it tested). Curious handle, dark wood, engraved/carved, beautifull scabbard - arabic style (?), copper and iron with wooden base. Anyone can guess its origin? Regards, Desmarins :confused: Last edited by desmarins; 09-29-2005 at 11:42 PM. Reason: trying to know info about antique dagger |
