Just won this on a local auction site. THIS IS NOT THE ITEM AT PRESENT ON EBAY.
Would appreciate identification of the knife and translation of the cartouche if possible please. The pics are the sellers and I will post better ones when the item arrives. Regards Stu |

Thanks Dom. I am assuming that mine is the middle size dagger though until it gets here I do not know the dimensions. Does the khanjar have a particular name, or is it just a khanjar?

Tirri from our side, the translation is in check ... details with pics all the best, and congratulations for that nice pick up à + Dom |

Sorry for delay but the mails are real slow these days! After a bit of blade cleaning here is the Egyptian dagger. Some minor damage to hilt top and scabbard but generally not in too bad condition. Only 1 tourquoise missing and all corals are there!
