It is a 19th century (or earlier) peshkabz from Afghanistan. Not karud, karud has straight blade. Wootz blade. Nice unusual color of the ivory on the hilt. Original scabbard in worn condition. Beautiful piece!

Welcome Mart!
The ivory is the inner core of a walrus tusk, hence the patterning. Nice piece. Spiral |

Dear Spiral,
You consider, what it is a fake or modern work? I do not understand in a ivory. I live in that region, where the inner core of a walrus tusk a rarity. |
