Hello Everyboby
Someone can tell me the origin of this kindjal Thanks for advance. Length ovl 75,5 cm The blade and the handle have a silver decorative incrustation. The scabbard is very used |
Thin silver coftgari on metal fittings like this is usually Syrian work. I think it is Syrian kindjal and fittings.

The end 19 - the beginning 20 C. Kindjal. But I consider that it not caucasus. Syria. Ornaments silver and flat section of a blade are typical for Syria.

I also thought Syria at first, but had a reference of similar one described as "Kavkazian", so went with that. |
I agree with Mahratt: not Caucasus by a long mile. The all-iron handle and the silver koftgari point to Syria . Iranian ones also had all-iron handles, but the koftgari tips the scale. Pretty low-quality job: it rubbed off just from hand contact.
