Pala - antique or repro?!
I wonder about a Kilij/Pala I aquired not so long ago.
What do you think about it?! Is it Turkish? Is it antique? The blade has a perfect cutting build, sharp and nimble with several nicks like it has been used. Yet it is in very good condition and the koftgari is almost perfect.  Marius |

The grip is wood what makes me a little suspicious. On the other hand I was always intersted where they had so broad horns from.

I do not think you have anything to worry about: 100% genuine.

Call me paranoid, but I suspect this to be brand new made in China.

But horn also has these lengthwise structures. I think the horn is heated and bent in order to make a fitting piece for this type of hilt. Maybe the experts can comment on that... |
