The khanjarli arrived today and now I can breath again it was sent parcel post. The blade is 9 inches in length and has a very nice wootz pattern
 the ivory is in perfect shape no chips. Jens, Charles there is no sign this dagger ever had a knuckle guard I am a very happy camper .Lew |

Here is a close up but it is not that good will try again tomorrow in day light. This is Indian wootz which is low contrast and real hard to photograph.

Guys no thoughts on this question? Since cows/bulls are sacred in India it would make some sense to me that this could be a representation of their horns.
