A kard dagger with a hilt embellished with Mother of Pearl scales and white stone. It comes with its original scabbard (still solid and functional). During the late 1800s / early 1900s, there were many blades of such design produced for the European market of varying quality. Such blades included kards, pesh kabz, and Una (a blade approx 30-40cm) possessing the characteristic Mother of Pearl scales with green / white / yellow stone or bone. Some blades were made of standard steel, some with fake 'watering', others with genuine wootz (most likely repurposed from broken sword blades), or Damascus steel. Unusually, this particular piece has a single-fullered steel blade with fake surface watering; it possesses a very sharp edge. A very good example.
