Iraqi khanjar?
A little out of my comfort zone, an Iraqi, Turtish or Kurdish khanjar. Plain steel blade and a handle of horn. It was a bit of a gamble, the seller's photos were out of focus, blade rusted but the handle did show a patina. Blade cleaned up and etched no wootz. No idea if it is old or recent or where it came from. Would appreciate your comments.
Best regards
Marc
