Big Kard Dagger with Ivory Hilt - 5550

This is a very fine Indo-Persian Kard of unusual big dimensions. The blade is 12 inches long and very massive (compared to the average 9-10 inches blades). It is forged from good Indian pattern welded (Damascus) steel. Steel bolsters and hilt strap and ivory grips. Total length 17 inches. Excellent condition. Minor age cracks and a very small chip near one of the grips rivets. A really rare and beautiful piece expensive but you do not see many around. |
