Well, that explains the caucus style hilt. Brilliant, thanks again  Do these have a specific name in Greek? Also.... The leather of the scabbard has a distincly WW2 'feel' to it... if that makes any sense? It feels 'about that age', also the belt loop is about 6cm, like it was to fit a wide 'army' style belt. Do you think that there is any chance that this could be from that era? |

We call them "ka'mas".
"ka'ma" is the word for one, "κa'mas" the plural. Last edited by eftihis; 26th July 2010 at 07:40 AM. |
