<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 308975, member: 2844&quot;]Classic antique Caucasian silver niello dagger buckle, with the early kokoshnik mark, left looking, 1896-1908.</p><p>I love these, and finally got one dirt cheap because of a wrong listing.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> Listed as Djokja/Yogya (Indonesian), no Djokja collector would touch it of course, so the seller accepted my silly bid.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>A few years ago I got a Wang Hing Chinese export silver buckle the same way. Here in the Netherlands, when silver looks slightly exotic, it is Djokja.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My question is about the word in the centre, does it read Kavkaz, for Caucasus? And the maker&#039;s mark(?) on the back of the little dagger, OK? [USER=33]@Figtree3[/USER] or someone else?</p><p>Thanks for looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]101894[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]101896[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]101895[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]101897[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]101898[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
