A rare khevsur pair

Rivkin · 2nd April 2005, 06:12 AM

Thanx, Yannis. Yes, it's the old georgian, chosen most likely as a nationalistic gesture. It's not in any use today, but it's simple and I actually had more problems with the hilt - I usually have more problems reading modern alphabets/fonts than with more simple and elegant ancient scripts.

The kindjal, together with a similar sword (a more matching pair) is in Ebay now, looking for a new home.

I GOT AN INFORMATION FROM GEORGIA THAT THERE IS A KHEVSUR MASTER WHO MAKE NEW SWORDS ALIKE THE OLD ONES. SOMETIMES HE USE PARTS OF OLD SWORDS. I DONT WANT TO FOOL ANYONE SO I HAVE ADD A NOTICE IN THE AUCTION.

Do you think that the notice is enough or I have to withdraw the entire auction?

I know many copies are made in Georgia but these look like originals to me.
