Thanks guys. Normally, I take war souvanir stories, with a box of salt. However, I got these from a Special Ops, "Intelligence " officer. Early Afghan War advisor, and linguist. Three tours in country. He also had lots of Afghan medals, and other memorabilia. There were two other Pesh Kabz daggers. One, was ivory hilted, and a gift from an Afghan Colonel. The other, had a Rams horn handle, and was his personal war trophy. Both were massive knives. The gift was not for sale, and the trophy, was $800.00. I paid less than half that, for these eleven pieces. That being said... Could it be, that some of these are family heirlooms, passed down through the generations? Used by father against the Russians, and back to Great-Grandfather, against the British? Romantic thoughts, I know. I've always been a dreamer.
