This seems to be a Bukharan shashka or is it?

Our esteemed Ariel suddenly remembered that in addition to Bukhara existed Khiva Khanate and existed Kokand Khanate

In this topic, I showed a few Shashka of Bukhara with three rivets. And I think that this is enough. Now you insist that I show Bukhara shashkas with large rivets. Perhaps you began to doubt that the shashkas, which you have shown (with small rivets) from Bukhara? Do not worry. This is a good shashkas. I even a little jealous of you. Here is shashkas of which I speak. They have small rivets, but you wrote yourself, it's Bukhara shashkas. I'm sorry that I remind you of this: Quote:

Beautiful!!
I know nothing about these swords. Any corelation between the brittleness of the handle scale material and the size/number of rivets? I imagine it would be harder to drill the larger rivet holes in more brittle material like jade, agate and turqoise, than in softer material like wood, horn and ivory. Hence the use of multiple thinner pins/rivets. |

If the handle of horn or wood - often large rivets. If the handle of stone or bone - small rivets. But the main thing is the words Torben Flindt, who for some reason sometimes lead to misunderstanding that: "When wood or horn were used, the gripshells were held together by three to five rather large iron rivets whose size may be regarded as a Bukharan characteristic" ![]() Last edited by Jim McDougall; 24th February 2016 at 07:48 PM.

I say this based on the small iron bolster present. This is typically a North Indian Karud feature, not a Bukhara feature. Gavin |
