My eastern kindjal ;)

[francantolin]

Hello and thank you everybody for your comments,

It's not easy to age and fix a kindjal origin especially without clear stamps-marks...,
( except the two arabic letters ?? has anybody an idea ? ... )

Always interesting to see the mix of cultural influences,
The reverse of the scabbard make me too think it's a caucasian
( georgian ? ) model.


I don't think it's rhino horn,
nice light brown horn with reflects and fibrous structure but no translucence at all...

I put other pictures of the hilt, who knows !...
