Caucasian Khanjar or Beibut dagger ?

francantolin · 14th March 2018, 07:42 PM

Hello,

I have just bought this dagger in an auction on internet

the hilt shape look like a kindjal hilt ( seems made of horn )
the curved blade looks like a beibut dagger blade or a khanjar .

The scabbard ending mount has an ''ottoman/greek'' style
( made of brass ? )

so I make a ''mix'' between these informations and opt for a caucasian origin.

What do you think ?
All comments are welcomed.

I'll post better pictures when I'll receive it.

Kind regards

Franco

No one has got/seen a dagger like this one ?

Kindjals with curved blade are called Bebut in Russia, There was even a military variant of such a weapon with Bebut as its official name.
I have no idea what is the meaning of this name.
Anybody knows?
