I think it was a case of mistaken identity Andrew .

'Twas me , I think, he meant .

Hi all!

I don't know if I asked this already but whould this be worn on al long baldric through the loop over the shoulder or on a small loop like on kindjals, I just want to get my display of turkish weapons and stuff right. I still can't figure out why a Turkish dagger whould have arabic on the blade, maybe to mimic the Ottoman daggers? This is one of the better quality tourist pieces in my collection.

Hi Aurangzeb ,
I would think that this being a souvenir of a quite possibly non-existent exemplar of a Turkish Kanjar that it would not have been worn at all by a Turk .

Ergo there may be no known style of wear for this particular item .

Now I really don't mean to nag but have you acquired your copy of Stones Yet ?

An informed collector is an astute collector .
