Hi Rajesh,
Your guard is very similar to some military khyber knifes. Look this old thread http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001976.html The blade looks also very Indian. So for me, your sword is Afghan / Pakistani. All the best, Kubur |

Definitely not Pakistani: only after August 14, 1948:-)
One of the late 19-20 century Afghani military sabers, with British influence. Also: please note the handle that is definitely not of a usual "khyber" form, but rather an imitation of the Russian regulation shashka pattern 1881. Conceptually a schizophrenic "dog's breakfast" example, but unquestionably 100% genuine. The ultimate reflection of the Great Game. Last edited by ariel; 14th April 2015 at 02:53 PM. |
