Howdy Bing,

I would very much like to see photos of the two khanjars visible above the cinquedea when it is convenient... :)

Speaking of which, the cinquedea is absolutely beautiful, and would make a fine addition to the European Armoury forum... ;)

without scabbard, it's not very easy to be formal :shrug: anyway, after
I have checked my impressions, by visiting my documentation
I think it might be more of the following;
JAMBIYA - PERSIA 18/19th century (hilt ? pic, not enough clear)with gold koftgari decoration at the base of the blade

JAMBIYA - PERSIA 18/19th century, hilt in walrus ivory, some clear mark of koftgari decoration at the base of the blade

KHANDJAR - INDIA 18/19th Century, (hilt ? pic, not enough clear, may be buffalo horn ?) Islamic Weapons; A.C. Tirri" it's a "KHAPWAH", knife similar to "khanjar", but with a strong central rib.

best regards
