Hi Gentlemen

what I'm offering you in display is not very old, but ethnic knives

previously, I wrote
« passing by Damas (Syria) I found some (!!) ... knives »
here, two couples of ethnic khanjars

- 2 are from Jordan – Bedouins khanjars, till yet carried by Arab Legion for intance

- 2 are from Syria, more precisely from Damas (they are specific)

they are not very old today

but will be antiquities in a couple of years .. LOL

I found them attractive, because are a testimony of countries, and period
per luck, on each set, one of them has a date engraving,
very easy to estimate they age

1963 for the Jordan knive
1923 for the Damacesne knive

comments and appreciations are welcomed

à +

Dom

ps: ... still ... one
