[QUOTE="Nathan Lindop, post: 343347, member: 5285"]Found this at my local auction. A brilliant Omani Khanjar! Looks stunning. Just there tarnish on The sheath and hilt but it comes off easily. The hilt and sheath are finely engraved with flowing patterns repetitive all the way down the dagger. Silver filigree banding is present all over along with 5 precious stones alternating 2 purple stones, 2 green stones, one purple. The handle is also embossed on one side. I don’t think the metal is silver but I have no idea and haven’t tested it. Their are places where the piece looks as if it has been repaired as a quick fix. Take a look and tell me what you think. :jimlad: Not many similar to this, they differ quite a lot but here is one sold by antique weapons dealer, though theirs seems to be better quality. They stated theirs as silver and it looks so remarkably similar to mine that it just begs the question is it silver too : [URL]http://www.ashokaarts.com/shop/antique-silver-turkish-khanjar-dagger-with-wootz-steel-blade[/URL] [ATTACH=full]115811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]115822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
