Small? Wootz? Kurdish? Jambiya
Hi,
Another local find. My apologies for all the questions but I'm a bit unsure of the facts. Small, the blade is 5 1/8th inches and the hilt is 3 5/8th inches, this seems pretty small with regard to the examples I've seen here and on Oriental Arms site. Wootz, the close up of the blade appears to show a pattern? Kurdish, nowhere can I find a match for the hilt material or exact shape, the scabbard would seem to conform to the Kurdish type. As usual your thoughts and expertise is sought. Many thanks.
Regards,
Norman.
