Dagger Origin

Greetings,
Any idea where this curved beset/Khanjar style dagger would have originated from? Described as Transcaucasian. Georgian, Uzbek or Persian?

Thanks,

DavidFriedman

I'd go with trans-Caucasian, given the choice.

Trabzon?

Hi DavidFriedman,

Given the fullering, I suspect that it is from the Trabzon region of Turkey.

Sincerely,
RobT

I'd also consider Syria side of the pond for options...

Hi David Friedman, It reminds me of my dagger that I got in Turkey and it says: Remembrance of Konya (in central Anatolia) (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18730)

Thanks everyone, Trabzon, Konya, Syria, Transcaucasus. I’ll research examples more from these regions.

I’m guessing it may be late 19th century, very early 20th. Any thoughts?
