Another Hilt Wanted Please

kahnjar1 · 27th July 2009, 08:08 AM

I know its a long shot,

but does anyone have a Jambiya Hilt/Handle resembling in shape any of these. It does not have to be ornate, or for that matter silver, but at least of the right variety to suit the complete item shown here. The handle on this piece is not the original, but is an old replacement for the original which has either been lost or damaged in some way.
Also looking for translation of the Arabic on the scabbard please.
Thanks in hope.
