I while ago Jens posted a few pictures of a nice Pesh Kabz. I encountered a similar dagger, and surprisingly the memory came back:-) These are quite rare, I think, and a few similar ones were on Sotheby's in 2006. Jens's one has very nice curve though and gold work. Here is the link (it's in the middle of the thread):

And here are pictures of another one. It's 15'' long, walrus handle, wootz, etc. The scabbard is original, I think, fits the blade well, but the fittings look Afghani to me. Any other opinions/comments?
