I've attached a few more photos of the knives in the collection. Thanks in advance for any and all info!!! Amazing web site and forums! Bing

Howdy Bing,

I would very much like to see photos of the two khanjars visible above the cinquedea when it is convenient... :)

Speaking of which, the cinquedea is absolutely beautiful, and would make a fine addition to the European Armoury forum... ;)

Thanks for the reply. age of the cinquedea? Ive attached photos of three khanjars. looking for info on all! Thanks! Bing

Hi Bing

Yes please post the cinquedea separately on the European section. :)

Hello Bing
without scabbard, it's not very easy to be formal :shrug: anyway, after
I have checked my impressions, by visiting my documentation
I think it might be more of the following;
JAMBIYA - PERSIA 18/19th century (hilt ? pic, not enough clear)with gold koftgari decoration at the base of the blade

JAMBIYA - PERSIA 18/19th century, hilt in walrus ivory, some clear mark of koftgari decoration at the base of the blade

KHANDJAR - INDIA 18/19th Century, (hilt ? pic, not enough clear, may be buffalo horn ?)
