Mine is a fine example of Polish hussars sabre, in most classical form and shape, made at the end of 17th century by Lviv (Lvov) Ormians. I had a thread devoted to this sabre many months ago, but just to remind you this beautiful sabre, I put one picture below.

The top section of a dagger hilt, Nayaka period, South Indian (around 1600)

Mine's the hilt of a 17th c. Spanish cup-hilt rapier, formerly in the (late) Army Museum in Madrid. Filed and chiselled steel. A truly fine exemplar of its kind.

Mine is the hilt of a knife. But which kind of knife? A Khanjarli of course!

It is a Khevsur shield. It is the reason for the hunting of Khevsur arms and the great lesson I got with the fakes. At least this is old and real. I got it years ago, before the factory of imitation appears.
