Russian Khyber knife
It is finished on e-bay, so I am within my rights to post the pics.
Here is a classical Afghani Khyber knife ( Selaava), with all bells and whistles. No doubt about it being old and authentic.
However, its blade bears a clear mark of the Russian Zlatoust Weapon Factory.
Does anyone have any other examples of Russia-made blades of such a distinct profile among the Afghani Khybers in the 19th century?
