Indeed. If it's tebu it's somewhat atypical, but I do love these anomalies!
Or if it's a variation of this type of dagger from the Tuareg(?) then it's still an interesting variation with the ususual...

Hi Glen,

I also thought it reminiscent of a Toucan funnily enough.
So what's your conclusion?
I know the Roman hilts that you speak of, but again they couldn't be miscast as parrots... well the...

Hi Damien,

Welcome to the forums.

I have to agree with my friend 'Lotfy' (A.Alnakkas).

I'd say that there is a good chance that this Kindjal is Turkish or Balkan.
It shows some similarities...

The beak of that example is more akin to the carved ivory Dutch example and both are actually eagle like.
The beak on Nando's example is more like an Ibis or even a parrot.

Good catch as always Alex.

Signes of etched 'grey' even under the hilt scales, no wear, no oxidisation, no patina etc.
But very nice work on the blade.

Did anyone see this one?
