Agree with Dom. Elgood wrote about Central Asian Bukharan masters working in the Gulf region.
Obviously, the scabbard was made specifically for the peculiar blade configuration, so they are contemporary. Nice twist on the story :-) |

thanks all!
Thats very interesting, I really like how things can mix and different artistic senses mix in a single weapon. History is beautiful hehe. Regarding the origin of this knife, I am not sure really, my father and an old Iraqi collector claim that these were also used in alAhwaz region in now modern day Iran. Cant really verify though :/ |
