Khandjarli

Thanks for your comments. I have copared my item with fotos of other khandjarlis in auction catalogues and the net and I think that this piece is very old and not made during the 19. century. After what I have seen it may be from the early 17th century but as I am no specialist this is just a supposition..............

I am wondering what's up with the adjacent 8 spoked star marks on either side of the base of the blade. Goto say though, That thing as a beautiful rustic look to it. Looks very solid as well. Dat der is perty knife.

I'd place it in the 18th century. The grips are antler, not bone.
Nice example, shows all the characteristic grace of the type.
