Thoughts on my new Kindjal

Discussion in 'Militaria' started by Joanne Mayfield, Mar 28, 2022.

  1. Hello I recently purchased this kindjal but I'm not sure if it is authentic or a tourist piece. Also can anybody can help date and translate the piece? I believe it is engraved in Arabic. Thank you for your time.

  3. That's what I thought it might be. I did a cheap appraisal on Valuemystuff.com and they said it was definitely an rare and authentic 19th century kindjal valued at $300 to $450. I still had my doubts.

    Seems to have some work in it. Maybe you need an in person evaluation.
