Yes, I do also find it odd that this could be attributed to being Albanian, when all the markings show Turkish provenance. At least to my limited level of knowledge on these types of bladed weapons....

Thank you. Any idea which Sultans Tugrah this might be, to show its age?

I’m not sure why they are designated as Albanian. Is it because this type of grip was more in Vogue up there perhaps?

Ottoman/Albanian Khanjar scabbard markings

Ottoman/Albanian Khanjar scabbard markings. Is anyone able to read or identify any of these markings that came out when I cleaned the scabbard today?

Possible Turkish Tugra?

Thanks.

Thanks everyone, Trabzon, Konya, Syria, Transcaucasus. I’ll research examples more from these regions.

I’m guessing it may be late 19th century, very early 20th. Any thoughts?

Dagger Origin

Greetings,
Any idea where this curved beset/Khanjar style dagger would have originated from? Described as Transcaucasian. Georgian, Uzbek or Persian?

Thanks,

Notice the similar concentric ring design on the collar, and obviously, the SE Asian tang, found on this Nguyen dynasty Vietnamese Snake/hook lance.

Sorry, I missed the conflicting posts. I had no intention of initiating a post that would create any contention.

Thanks

Thanks, I’d never seen one like that before from Indian provenance. I’ve seen many from Qajar Persia. It would be very interesting to me if the design crossed over to India. That particular blade...

Qajar

Hi, thanks Ariel.

The lance in the picture looks very similar in form to a Persian Qajar lance I used to own. Thinner blade and less diamondesque in cross section profile than this current one I...

Thanks Ariel,
No, the Katar I purchased several years ago from Italy. A little worn out, but a large strong specimen.

May I ask what characteristics point to Mughal for the lance head? I’ve never...

Persian or Ottoman Lance ?

Greetings fellow collectors,
I was wondering if anyone may be able to shed some light on this 20 inch gold damascened lancehead.

Based on its form, does it seem more prone to have been Persian,...

Good observation on the ring count difference on the two swords.

I will look up Tonkin sabres, as it’s a new area for me.

When the swords arrive, I will take closer pics.

Thank you.

Excellent point. Perhaps the double saber/sword use could also spill over into non military duels.
