Ariel called it. It's Afghan work, mid-late 20th century.
These were sold to NATO, American and other soldiers as tourist pieces. Some earlier pieces, c. 1900-mid century, were engraved after the fact. This is not to say they weren't carried by Afghans and others, I have no doubt they were. Is it sharp? Last edited by Oliver Pinchot; 14th March 2022 at 09:49 PM. |

Thank you Oliver. I was wondering about this being a tourist piece due to the irregular form, the bone quality, and the form of the etchings on the blade, but wasn't sure.
