Kinjal info please
1 Attachment(s)
I've been updating my database this weekend. The first piece in my collection was purchased at the Grand Bazaar Istanbul in 2001 before I started to explore ethnographic weapons. This is out of my collecting area. The silver fittings seem higher quality than the rest of the knife. The black material is not leather, it appears to be some type of resin that has been textured and stamped. I'm hoping someone can tell me what I have.

Hello,
this is clearly a dagestani Kindjal, the fittings and maybe the whole dagger are made in the town Kubachi. The age is difficult to estimate for me. Maybe early 20th century, but it could be also a bit younger. Regards Robin |
Thank you Robin. Is the textured and stamped black resin material on the sheath typical?

The front looks like ass's skin.
The back looks a bit unusual tho'. Regards Richard |

At the end it is like every kind of art - if you know about the characteristics it is possible to identify the origin. Kindjals are often difficult regarding that but in this case it is clear in my opinion. Hoffentlich konnte ich dir weiterhelfen :) Robin |
