Beibut kindjal with early european blade ? Origin ?

[francantolin]

Thank youbfor your message TVV,

yes it can be a shortened shashka blade,
I rarely seen shashka blade with such Ã* large yelman

If it's the case, the black-smith has reshaped all metal hilt part fo perfectlyr suit the grip shape,
I'll post some pictures

Kind regards

How about a broken blade not a cut down one? Is there evidence of a scarf weld where the blade joins the hilt? I have read that some Caucasian cultures carried a second shorter blade as a backup often repurposed from a broken blade.

Hello

It seems to be the ''regular'' tip of the blade/shortened sword with the large yelman but it wasn't welded to a separate metal hilt.

A single piece of metal

Perhaps these two pictures are better...

Perhaps is it better to place it the european weapons forum ?

I don't say it's one of these but the blade looks like storta's short sword models

Have you searched the terms dashna and Sabarkali ?

Hello,
I have found your post of 2021 about dashna daggers,
I didn't know the name , thank you !
Indeed scabbard really looks like 👍 I think we found the place where it was asssembled.

For me , with the large yelman , the blade comes from an old indo persian sword ( I've got a thega like that !! ) or an european model, with or without original Passauer wolf
