Hello All,
I have just won this dagger at auction. These are the seller's photos. I believe this dagger is an older jamadhar katari from the Hindu Kush valleys of Nurestan, Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan.
I was particularly intrigued by this shape of the blade of this dagger. Other examples of the jamadhar katari that are familiar to me have a pointed tip, whereas this one has an unusual diamond shape. I've never seen this type of tip before.
Do you have any comments, authoritative or speculation? I am familiar with the multiple threads on the jamadhar katari in the this forum.
If I have bought a worthless piece of rusty old metal that would also be fair news to share :)
Best Regards,
Dave A.
