would they have a wooden scabbard covered by leather ?
I bought it from a Russian gent from Siberia, close to Kazachstan, who sells Russian artifacts and items from the former Sovjet Union, but that might not say anything in this case about this dagger... thnx a lot for your swift reply / je Vous merci !

Do you have a side (edge on) view? I would like to see how it was mounted. And a view of the throat of the scabbard?

I agree with your assertion that it belongs in the greater Indopersian sphere of influence. Why? I can't give a good answer. It just seems vaguely familiar.
To the forum; how common are those groves in the throat of the sheath? Here is another example. Last edited by Interested Party; 29th June 2020 at 12:04 AM. |
