I have made a leather loop and hung this kindjal from my belt. It hangs nearly upright, and not in angle, as one may see them being used by many pictured traditionals.Well, the scabbard is rather heavy, as made in solid ( nickeled ) brass. Would this be a variation used in some areas ... like Syria, as per Ariel, or does it simply define it as a replica?
Would any member give an idea on that monogram lettering ? I have looked into Syriac, Georgian and Arabic lettering, but i couldn't figure out any relation.
As i said before, the blade has a fine aspect, with its offset fullers . I just wonder if that multiple marking is a real maker contrast or just an embelishment.
What would be the name of these weapons in Syrian ... not certainly kindjal?!
Will i have any luck ?
Thanks
