It is a pity that we will not see your book on the arms of Central Asia. Undoubtedly, it would be a valuable work, given your vast experience.
Complementing your definition of the subject under discussion, I would clarify that the dagger under discussion is: "Karud. The place of production with a high degree of probability is Afghanistan (if you made us all happy with a book about the arms of the khanates of Central Asia, you would know why this dagger has nothing to do with the khanates) "The details of the scabbard are undoubtedly of Sino-Tibetan origin. The use of the item most likely took place in this region".
