A new entry at my collection but I cant find many information about it.
A caucasian dagger of 19th century.Total length 41 cm.The scabbard and handle are made of gilded cooper and enamel!There are a lot of traces from the gilding at the scabbard and handle.
The only reference that I found was a simmilar dagger at Sheikh Faisal Museum.
Also there are inscriptions at both side of the blade.
