Welcome to the forum, Marcel!

This doesn't look like rhino to me. (Certainly an advantage if you plan to cross borders with it...)
I guess you've seen this current thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17166

Apparently this piece has seen some recent repairs/replacements (e. g. the plate at the throat of the scabbard looks new). BTW, what is the white stuff (repair at the base of the hilt)?

Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai,

thanks for the advice to check out the other thread. I did a light test as described by BANTARU. The corner actually lights up in bright orange (but only when the light hits the surface at certain angles). Unfortunately my iPhone, which is also my only camera ^^, is the only decent flashlight i have at hand so it's technically impossible to upload a picture. I'll try the get a second camera/lightsource to take a picture.

The Khanjar has been in extensive use als I have been told which explains the repairs. I am not really sure what the white stuff is they used to fill the hole. It seems to be some sort of glue, cause it is a little elastic.

By the way ... i found a great thread about Omani Khanjar fom Ibrahiim al Balooshi which was very helpful and informative.
