I have a small collection of them and all but one have similar decoration to yours, their scabbards are of various materials and one is a pretty plain, a bit knocked about, brass one like yours. I hope you don't mind me using your thread to post a couple of photos of the Choora with different decoration as I would value comments on the hilt which I think has had its original pommel replaced with an aluminium one also I have not seen one where the bolster extends down the blade and is riveted like this one.
Hi Miguel,
I don't mind at all. Thank you for posting them, and your kind words. Beautiful knives!
