Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - A very curvacious Salawar Yataghan / Khyber Knife

A heavily curved piece.

Length 24" with a 19" T-section blade
Pommel is two-piece horn.

A mechanical type of pattern. I cannot determine if etched or engraved, but I think the latter.

The first, hastily taken photo shows the degree of curvature compared with a more typical weapon.

Any ideas where this would have come from ?

Regards
Roy
