Afghan Sousson Pata?
Hello All!
I know khyber knives are sometimes referred to as "salawar yataghans" but here is something different I recently picked up. It's a standard yataghan or sousson pata blade with an obviously afghan-influenced handle. I have been unable to find examples of something similar. The blade has a ricasso so I'm thinking this may be from the India side of the border. I would appreciate thoughts on age, relative scarcity, etc. Thanks!
