Afghani pulwar, in my opinion :)

Ok , thanks for the information about the sword , now I'm sure it's Afghan , but the Knife is a Choora or a form of pech kabz?

Looks more like a utility knife as it lacks the T spine of a Pesh .
Just about the right length for a fancy meat carving knife . :shrug:

Not positive the knife is Afghan though . :confused: :confused:
Farther North ?
Could it be crucible steel ?

Is the cartouche gold ?

Is the cartouche gold ?

Looks brass with the discolourations and lacks the lustre of gold.

The cartouche and the hilt decoration are gold
