[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4316656, member: 2844"]How big are they? Do the blades have points, or are they cut off like on the photos? Could we get a better view of the hilts? Greco-Persian would mean Alexander the Great and the Seleucid Empire, some 2300 yrs ago, give or take.:) I don't think they used paper knives back then. With just these (incomplete) photos they look like nice Turkish or Persian souvenirs, possibly early to mid-20th century. Could be from further east, Pakistan and neighbours. More photos means more information for us and for you. But I don't think we can stretch the time frame to the period of the Seleucid Empire.;)[/QUOTE]
