Good Rajastani katar

This is not my area of expertise, and I may be off the mark, but I think this katar is of Rajastani work ca.1790-1850. It is 48 cm. long, with an armor-piercing point. The very tip of the point is...

Below is a boarding axe as part of decorations on one of my small-swords. It is hallmarked by a London silversmith to what I believe is the year 1755. The lion with a snake/serpent in his paws was a...

Hi, Mark.
There is no doubt on my part that the hilt of your sword is not American-made. There are several reasons; for one, it looks to have been gilt, a feature you will pretty much never see on...

I remember seeing similar scenes in an illuminated manuscript detailing Swedish [I think] subjugation of Finland, but not as detailed, as far as the small arms go.
These must be rowing galleys, or...

A great image! Thanks for posting it. What is the source?
It appears that a fellow on the left is shooting an arrow with a grenade on the business end, and his friend is slinging one.

No question. Two prime examples of the dragons on Islamic blades are the Furusiyya Foundation yatagan ca.1500, and the equally superb example in the Met, from the same workshop and time frame.

I'm with Theodor on this one. Balkans or Greece would be my guess as well. Does the last photo show a date in the rectangular cartouche? The dragon engraving would signify an Orthodox christian...

The blade is very good, late 1700s-early 1800s. The rest is a strewn together mish-mash. The sheath was put together from two pieces of a yataghan scabbard.

Here's a very similar Central Asian shashka I had. M-i-S mark, along with the year 1312/1894-5 , and another small mark on the ricasso. The blade is indeed a European import to my eyes as well. Not...

Yes, they do look practical. You can probably stack them on top of one another. Don't forget the silica packets to keep the humidity under control.
