Really Big Jambiya For Comment

The jambiya arrived today and it's a beauty. The hilt turned out not to rhino but still a great piece

Hi All

I snap off a few more pics and one of them is a comparison to a 12-13 inch Jambiya and the size difference is huge. There seems to be an inscription on the back of the throat on the scabbard?

Hi all

Sorry for returning late. Here is our exemplar: Blade 20 inches, very well forged high carbon steel:

Handle is horn, solid piece (but not Rhino horn) decorated with silver imitation coins and silver pommel cap.

Total length 26 inches.

I do not have the scabbard for it, but another exemplar I had seen was with a leather covered scabbard mounted with silver locket and chape with fine filigree work . I think it is an early type. Early 19 C. or a bit earlier.

Very nice jambiya I like the silver work on the hilt.
