Salaams =mot ~ Its A Qama no? I know, or rather knew, nothing about Caucasian daggers until I saw this. However I pressed Armanian Kindjal into our own forum search facility and hours later I know lots!! ![]() Is the hilt a replacement?... there is no wear in the metal on the pommel and lower hilt whereas the blade is exceptionally deteriorated... though beautiful; in apparent gold koftiari equivalent. This is in terms of a restoration project " a dockyard job" requiring a very careful program of staged work to arrest the rust and preserve what you have. Very nice.. Welcome to the Forum ! Add on note.. If you type in Qama to our search ... there is a mine of information there and floral patterns similar to yours on #6 Kindjals of Chechnya.. Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
