Dear forum participants. Does any of you know image of an Indian warrior with a dagger khanjarli.

Photo of A Nihang bodyguard serving in the Nizam of Hyderabad's irregular Sikh army, 1865, which supposedly has a khanjarli dagger, I know

Hi Mahratt.

Great picture! I enlarged it a bit and adjusted the contrast to show the hilt of his dagger more clearly. In answer to your question, no I have not seen another picture with someone wearing a khanjarli.

Mahratt, I thought these daggers with an iron handle like the warrior on the picture has are called "Chilanum" and Khanjarlis are looking different?

Hello, Gonzoadler. You are undoubtedly right. I marked in the picture

Wow!

Thank you for sharing this very rare photo!

Thank you Mahratt, the green marked piece seems indeed to be a Khanjarli.

A good photo. I really like the glance of this bodyguard).
But it piece very little resemblance to khanjarli.
In addition, I have never seen a khanjarli, which is worn on a suspension, and not behind a belt.

Could it be this?

May be. That is why the photo says "possibly khanjarli"

This does not change the question voiced in the title of the topic.

Does indeed remind me more of mine, tho your example has more decorative grip rivets...
