Added these two to my collection today. My knowledge mainly is concerned to Indonesian weapons but I started reading a lot here on the forum.
My assessment based on what I found on the forum so far: -both so called "Khyber" knives from Afghanistan -probably mid to late 19th century (2nd Afhan War?) -camel bone handle and horn handle -both seem to have reasonable quality layered steel, maybe even wootz -the one with copper details may be from the Balloochi/Baluchi region? Hope you guys can chime in and add some info! Are there good period photo's around of these type of weapons being worn? Last edited by erikscollectables; 12th March 2023 at 05:39 PM. |
