Jordanian Khanjer
4 Attachment(s)
Posted for comments by the forum. Acquired in Amman Jordan in 1978. I was told it is possibly a Jordanian Police khanjer. Basic workmanship. My Arabic is a bit rusty with respect to the mark, which I am assuming is the maker's signature. I read "Hussein" as the lower name. Possibly "Abd...." on the top? Handle and scabbard are old wood wrapped in tin with a wire wrapping around the grip. Appreciate any comments with respect to origin, dates, correct name, etc.

Hi Dave,
They are called 'Shibriya' or I've seen it spelt 'Shabriya' |

Hi Dave,
Have a look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=12567 The Shibriya is characterised by it's distinctive blade shape which makes it quite distinct from the Khanjars and similar daggers from the cultures surrounding it's area of manufacture. |
