Andrew - why do think that I "have no reason to participate in any forum discussions" ????????

I never said that. Why would I? Why would anyone...?

The Kindjal is now in the Swap forum.

Well, this was interesting. All the hissing and snarling is done it would seem but for a Parthian shot or two, and for all the entries on this thread, we have learned exactly zippety doo dah about why this is identified as either Circassian or Mingrelian (part of Georgia I believe).Why it is determined as either remains unknown to those of us who would like to learn about these weapons.....or perhaps I am the only one interested?

What is the circular symbol on the blade, anything symbolic or perhaps some Byzantine motif? Is the silverwork characteristic of Zugdidi? Ataghi? anything unique in the shape of pommel or mounts?

Its now in the swap forum, its secrets secure except for the chosen ones with the knowledge and the money to pursue more on it.

How patently disappointing.

Jim,

I understand your frustration, but I would prefer not to comment on this item, and I have also withheld comments on the yataghan in the other thread. It seems that these objects are all for sale, and any comments here could influence a buyer's decision. We all make mistakes and I would hate to make a false statement, which may mislead a potential buyer.
I am sure others feel in a similar way.
Perhaps this topic should be closed for the time being?

Regards,
Teodor
