Hello,
I got this dagger recently which I would refer as a Kard. Maybe it was made in the early 20th or late 19th century. I want to ask you if anyone has seen something similar before? Where this dagger could been made? The silver scabbard has typical caucasian decoration elements, but a central asian origin seems to me possible, too. Which daggers have normally such a scabbard? Has anyone an example? I think of Kards from Bukhara but that could be wrong. The blade is from a shortened european or russian sabre and was blued before the remounting. The stack hilt has the shape of a man with a hat which reminds me of a caucasian papakha. It is decorated with glass stones. There are also iron mountings with gold Koftgari. The decor looks caucasian, too. Length overall: 40cm Without scabbard: 37cm Blade: 26cm Comments are welcome ![]() |
