Hello GP,

Nice knife!

While I do not know this particular type of knife, the style and decorations seem typical Algerian to me as well. I have a couple of Flyssa swords with similar...

To me, this looks like a very recent fantasy weapon.

Absolutely not practical as it cannot provide a stable grip.

Persian, 18th century and not wootz?! :shrug:

I may agree with the Persian attribution but definitely not 18th century.

Indian!

Both, blade and hilt. 20th century.

Wow, very interesting find!

To me, it looks like an English broadsword from the early 19th century.

Unfortunately, it is badly in need of major restauration work.

Interesting that the moment I saw it, I also thought that is Persian.

Why?

Simply because it looked so much alike others I saw in Persian museums.

The size, the shape of the hilt and also...

Wow, what a beauty!
And the blade is fantastic. It seems to have the characteristic "Indian ricasso." Pretty sure made in Northern India. :)

Hello Detlef,

It would be very difficult to make photos good enough so one can see the rhino horn structure as I do not have a good camera.

Will give it a try as soon as it will be a sunny day....

Hello Detlef,

While some Tumbuk-lada may have wider blades, there are many with blades indiscernable from those of sewars. Yet, they still are Tumbuk-lada because in this case, it is the hilt that...

In my opinion this is a Sewar, not a Tumbuk-lada. Tumbuk-lada have a significantly thicker hilt with a flater pommel.

I think it might be rhino. Rhino horn was fairly frequently used for sewars. I...

Maybe a gut feeling, maybe just the tired look of the blade make me think this might be a 17th century dagger.

Very nice piece!

A sabre M 1869 for cavalry troopers was the description in the auction.
But where from? Austria? Germany? :shrug:
And the manufacturer: Jung (???) :shrug:
Any additional information is welcomed!

The shape of the tip is most certainly purely decorative.

As with regards to the blades...
