Here are the two jambya cleaned..
.the first Ivory handle has the rest of kofgari, I think that the blade is in Damascus?

the second handle metal with rest of entries, I think that the blade is wootz?

If you have opinions!

the handle looks like Albanian handle?

anyone has an idea about the origin of these two jambya?

Both are Ottoman, most likely Balkan/Albanian. I also see what can be wootz pattern on one with ivory hilt. Nice attic find)

Hello,

It looks like a very nice Ottoman khanjar with Albanian-style handle and a very nice Ottoman court dagger.

Lovely!
