I am not a big fan of most late Persian Qajar weapons, this particular one has some interesting differences. While that handle orientation is not common at all it is not unknown.
Hi Estcrh,
Thank you very much for you comments and improved photos. I would agree with you regarding the name of the items, I would call them Jambiyas not Khanjars for the same reason single curve not double. Thanks for the photo which should settle the way the pommel faces query.
Wishing you a Happy New Year
