Default A rare khevsur pair

Extremely rare Khevsur sword and kindjal, as a pair.

The sword: Hilt of silver and leather. Blade with 3 fullers, Gurda markings both sides and words. Scabbard leather and brass over wood. Words and ornaments on guard and mounts. Blade length 69cm, total length 82cm.

The kindjal: Before I see this, I didn’t know that Khevsurs had kidjals. If anyone can give an opinion please do it here openly, even if it is bad. Hilt is wood and brass. The blade is armor piercing (more thick close to tip) and it has 2 fullers and a bladesmith mark. Scabbard is leather and brass over wood with same decoration as the sword. Blade length 49cm, total length 32cm.

I will answer price and shipping details by personal message or e-mail only to forum members. I don’t write the price direct because it is possible to post this pair in Ebay later, if no one here wants it. I can send more photos if you need them. Please be informed that price is high. This is not a "bargain".
