A Bosnian Kindjal

[Tatyana Dianova]

Yesterday a Kindjal was sold on eBay. Nice fullers, but what really surprised me was the mark on the blade, which is identical to Bosnian bichaq
marks (see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4817&highlight=bichaq for reference). So this definitely not a Caucasian Kindjal, but the Bosnian one :)

Great fluting work! I see the shamshir mark on the blade.

I got to handle that one. It suprised me how petite it was. Nice piece, but too much pitting for me. Notice the etched faux pattern welding.

Oh yeah......I see what you mean..........missed that one.
