Hi Andreas and Kubur. You are both being very decent, but I don't really mind. If there was a substantial money reward or few good khanjars in it..

You are right Andreas. I am still under supevision and that causes delay.
In my view, it is always nice to have some personal mark on a piece, like the name of the maker or the owner, or other signs like date or place of manufacture. This one is probably made as a present for major Gayer-Anderson and therefore, it is not older than 1915, more likely 1930-40.
