Hey mate,
I am glad you got it! was planning to bid but slept through it hehe. When I first saw it I thought its an Indian interpretation of the Saidi? there are photos somewhere of Mahrajas wearing Saidi khanjars so its all possible... |

Was watching this also. The hilt and blade looks to be Saidi, possibly mated with another scabbard, but the origin is a mystery to me,........but a very interesting mystery. The ball looks ivory but the rest appears as if it COULD be cast metal/silver. A very healthy result for the seller also in my opinion!

The mystery made it interesting to me as well, but the price went beyond my comfort level, so I let it go by. Maybe, we will find out enough about it to sate our curiosities.

To my eyes the metal is tarnished silver and the ball is ivory.
