Hi
Do you have any good examples of Turkish Ottoman kindjal? Not Greek and not Caucasian Real Turkish Ottoman kindjals with straight or curved blade... The only ones that I know are the Trabzon coral stuffed kindjals... Do you know other styles? Thanks |

Hello Kubur.
A few days ago I bought an ottoman kindjal but yet not I have in my hands. I will upload a photo that I found in the internet that is similar. My opinion is this is the Ottoman type kindjal with the designation qama. |

I have a problem if the decoration is Caucasian, and maybe the blade. What makes your kindjal Turkish? I know that you are very sharp for Caucasian affairs so i'm sure that you have good reasons but for a little head like me it's not obvious... Best, Kubur |

It's exactly what i was looking for, thanks. It's really a good catch, just a gorgeous dagger. What a shame that you don't have the scabbard. Some collectors call them Court daggers... and i think that is so wrong, let's call them daggers for wealthy people or noblemen daggers. Best, Kubur |
