Hi
in the collection of the castle Ingolstadt (Germany), a knife is issued. it is given as "Charay from the tribe of Afridi" (Hermann Historica, Dolche und Messer aus dem Persischen Kulturraum, picture 86)
or it is a Choora, the knife of the Mashud.

Thank you for the replies.
I now have a translation of the inscription, which is great.
I also now know that the knife is either a Pesh Kabz, a Charay or a Choora.
All of the above is more than I knew before posting pics and asking for advice!
Thanks heaps, guys.

Salaams It looks like a Mussandam "Shehi" work knife ... which also look like Baluch daggers ... which probably take their form from Afghanistans daggers...which....The puzzling part is the decorative strip running up and over the pommel.
