Seldom one sees such a beauty on the market: A very fine Persian Kard dagger, with a thickened tip for armor piercing. Superb wootz blade, 10 inches long, with very finely chiseled base on both sides and on the spine. Steel bolsters and grip strap, finely inlaid with gold . Walrus ivory grips, entirely cut from the inner marble like part of the tusk. Total length 15 inches. Fine condition. Some minor age shrink and small chips of the ivory grips. Minor pitted spot on the blade. No scabbard. A very fine piece.
