The rest is more than debatable ...

Do you have any information about weapons workshops in the cities of the Crimean Khanate (for example, in Bakhchisarai) in the mid-18th century?
This would be...

This shamshir has been put up at one famous auction several times over the past two or three years :)

If this forum is not for political discussions, I don’t understand why you start talking about the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 1783. If you write about Potemkin, then you should know that this...

Thank you very much for your information. You are not quite right on several issues ... 1) Peyssonnel was in the Crimea from 1753 to 1757. 2) The Russian Empire did not annex the territory of Crimea....

Crimean Tatars knives in the 18th century

Guys, I’m reading the 18th century book in French with great difficulty and I have one question about weapons for forum participants who know French.
Can the word “Boutiques” in this particular text...

Yes. The swordmasters who signed wootz blades in the 19th century, I can’t remember ... Perhaps because I also do not have Rivkin’s book :)

Marius, I agree with you.
But in rare cases, there are exceptions. For example, when the blades of the Qajar revival blades are made of wootz steel (like this one of my sword).
But, of course, with...

I read an article in which it is written that such swords, strongly decorated with inscriptions, were made for processions that Shiites conduct on the holiday of Ashura. Also, such...

Hi Marius. You're absolutely right. That is why I wrote before It is impossible to say for sure whether these blades were made in India or Afghanistan.

Marius, I agree with you 200%. Of course, the dagger itself is Persian. I have no doubt about that.
I think it has a scabbard made in Afghanistan, but not the dagger itself;)

Letterings on Pesh-Kabz

Hi guys

My familiar bought this Pesh-Kabz. By the way, I think that this Pesh-Kabz spent the last part of his life in Afghanistan (these are my thoughts because of his scabbard).
Maybe someone...

A very interesting point is that the mass rejection of blades begins only with the beginning of the 20th century, when border tribes begin to receive rapid-fire rifles from Kabul.

You're absolutely right. In my opinion, this problem exists because Afghanistan was a very closed country in the 19th century. The emirs of Afghanistan supported this isolation. Very rarely,...

Jens, I have no doubt about that. Olufsen brought to Denmark this collection of various weapons at the end of the 19th century from Bukhara. And Torben Flindt wrote a very good article.
