Caucasian kindjal dagger from Dagestan
Good Day for every body
last input, purchased from a Frenchie forumite small "kindjal" from Dagestan, most probably 20th century text and more especially the date, are certainly apocryphal traduction is as follow; HADJ DAOUD DAGESTINI either PILGRIM DAOUD DAGESTAN 1127 either 1714 which it's unrealistically, the dagger and even the blade are not older than 50 to 60 years the handle is made of two plates of blond horn, attached by two silver buttons scabbard in white metal, with very fine silver filigree, the tip is ottoman style with a dauphin head dimensions total : 32 cm blade and handle: 29 cm blade: 16 cm I ran last year the souks of Samarkand, Bukhara, even I visited the second hand market of Tashkent ... and ... I didn't found something, NOTHING ... even not a single "junk" at least, I bought 1 "Pichok" in Bukhara, but a recent production ... full desolation also to garnish a little bit my corner's "Caucasian", I bought this one à + Dom |
