I am not sure but it looks like a mix to me. The silver mounts look Indo-Persian. The blade looks modern. The quillons look either Turkish or European to me.
I'm curious to see what others think. ![]() |

The blade is not modern - it is of black "Persian" wootz. The piercings do remind of Central Asia/Afghanistan work, but one of the likely descriptions is that it is of 19th C Tatar/Crimean origin. An interesting example.

With a better picture I now see what you mean Alex about the blade.

There are still opinions? Central Asia/Afghanistan work? Turkish? Tatar?

Alex,
I completely concur with you bro - this looks to be an afgani knife. Just the look of it and the decoration piercings....just all speak afganistan. Ive included a picture of a pulwar I used to have in my collection, please note the piercings in the guard. Aleksey Last edited by Aleksey G.; 7th December 2010 at 02:50 PM. |
