Hi there,
does anyone have an idea on this dagger? I once found a similar one on the internet which I think was attributed to Dagestan, but sadly I didnīt save the page and canīt find it anymore. The grip is made from horn. It has some (islamic?) inlay on the blade. Overall length incl. scabbard is 41cm; excl. scabbard 38cm; blade 24cm. Any comments highly appreciated! Kind regards Andreas Last edited by AHorsa; 8th August 2021 at 12:09 PM. |

They are Arabic and there is a date:
١٢١٣ = 1213 Hijri year = 1798-1799 Gregorian. However, I believe the date is spurious as the blade looks much more recent. |

Great! Thank you!
I am not sure about the age. But the blade was definitely cleaned. |

Great thank you! Would this be the name of the original owner, if one assume that the inscription is right?
