Curious about a Kard
I am really intrigued by this unusual kard dagger I recently acquired. The blade is superb. The fittings are of average quality except for some of the wire work.
I am curious where this one is from??? The dress looks just a little Cretan or Greek, except for the chape which looks typically Central Asian. The quality of the blade suggests Persian work. So, at the moment I am leaning towards a Central Asian origin, maybe Turkmen?? ....so I am open to any opinions on the origin of this piece!! Thanks in advance for any input. |
