Kandjar Katar
Some years ago I found at auction this dagger what I think is a Kandjar Katar. Its hilt is remarkable because it is made from aluminium. So I thought this dagger was made in the last century around the 1950s. But I learnt that aluminium after its discovery in the 1840/50 shortly has been more expensive than gold what made me think that this Kandjar Katar might be perhaps from this early time? What do you think?
