Nice Engraved Katar For Comment

Hi Flavio, no reason to be sorry. Most of the scissor blades you see are very big and clumsy, but they were also made slim and elegant, although it is seldom to see these blades.

I believe the inscriptions are museum (or private collection) accession numbers:

CA-3 Y 7 (or an incomplete 9) in the last photo (upside down)
CA-3Y and Y9[something] in the second-to-last photo

Thank you Jens

Hi Flavio,

Your welcome. For one of the more elegant scissor katars see Stone page 345 no one and two. The third one shown is strange in the way, that the outer katar does not have crossbars; it is only the inner katar, which has cross bars. I have a few double katars but on mine both the outer and the inner katar have gross bars.

Yeah Jens, the katar scissor on Stone is a very BEAUTY!!!!! Thanks again
