Hello, everyone.I recently joined this wonderful forum and it is time to ask for your opinion
A few days ago I bought an ottoman kindjal (It is my guess).Unfortunately, the text does not recognize it as Ottoman.Could you please suggest what is this kinjal? Thank you all in advance Last edited by Robert; 19th August 2017 at 03:04 AM. Reason: Please download your photos directly to the forum. |

I've seen similar inscriptions on Sudanese daggers from late 19th-early 20th centuries. The posted kindjal is rather more ornate, and the inscriptions are more neatly incised, than those I mention. That said, I was surprised to find the back of the dagger to be rather more crudely finished than the front. Is the blade heavy enough to be useful as a weapon?
For those who know, are offset fullers of different origin than the symmetrical ones we see on this blade? I'm not implying Sudanese origin or connection for this dagger, of course, merely noting possible similarities. |

Thanks for the answers.
I was confident that it's an Ottoman kindjal,but only text disturbs me ![]() I have an idea how it looks Ottoman Turkish text, but this does not seem such as? Some time ago I had two similar ![]() Last edited by Robert; 19th August 2017 at 07:21 PM. Reason: Second Warning, Please download your photos directly to the forum. |
