WW1-WW2 kindjal ? Stamp/Signature on the blade

Edster · 23rd October 2021, 09:40 PM

This is a tough one for me. The black panel is likely a replacement. The first part of the blade mark is the Arabic letter Jiim. The second one doesn't match anything I've seen. The folded leather piece that attaches the other leather to the metal piece of the scabbard is remindful of how the Russians attached their rifle slings. I read on the Forum they learned it from someone else, but can't recall. Likely from the Muslim part of the Caucasus. Hopefully, someone else will chime in who has some real knowledge.

Edit (Thanks Robin for your ID. I'll support Dagestan at where it was made. You posted while I was writing.)

Regards,
Ed
