Hi Harry,

Very nice Kurdish dagger! I love Kurdish daggers.
By the way, I wonder why collectors talk about Kurdish daggers as a whole.
I can see some differences between the so-called Kurdish daggers from Turkey, Syria, Irak and Iran... Plus even in Irak, the so-called Kurdish daggers from Bagdad are very different. There are also some so-called Kurdish daggers that I suspect to be produced in the Balkans...
Some members share these thoughts with me or am I completely crazy??

Hi Kubur,
They seem very similar to me also. I would not be surprised to learn that their design was influenced by whichever came first. I would lump the "Basra dagger" in with that group also.

Cheers!
Harry
