New purchase.

[David R]

I have taken the cleaning as far as I think sensible, and the next step is to make up some cutlers resin and put it together again, which I intend doing over the weekend.
I post today 'cause of a little discovery...a pin or rivet traversing the narrow axis of the grip, in just the right place to hold a short tang blade. But not this blade, which I now think is possibly a replacement made during the working life of the khanjar...which would explain the poor fit to the hilt.
