Hi All!

These three daggers have been in my collection for a while now. The kindjal is well made and the blade is sharp, the sheath is made with good quailty silver and brass. The other two are Jordanian shabariyasof very recent make but are very well made with sharp good thick steel blades and a fine quality silver and brass sheath. I first want to know where the kindjal comes from and a possible age. Also hopefully someone can translate the makers marks on the Jordanian dagger blades and why on the large one is the eagle of Saladinwhich seems to be associated with Egypt not Jordan? Any comments and information is more than welcome!
