SOLD SOLD (LAY-AWAY 14/07) **LARGE**Early 20th Century Sword Size Pesh-Kabz Choora / Khyber Afghan Knife With Tropical Hard Wood Scales, T- Section Blade & Rare To Find Original Scabbard. Sn 23497 - 23497
The Psh-Kabz or Choora is a type of Perso-Afghan knife (see page 494 of Stone's book 'A Glossary Of Arms & Armour'). The knives were typically used as a thrusting weapon, however their heavy blades also have considerable slicing performance and as such may also be used effectively with slashing or cutting strokes. During the British Colonial rule in India, the British frequently referred to all Afghan blades of this pattern collectively as "Afghan knives" or "Khyber knives", after the Khyber Pass that marked the transition from British India to the nation of Afghanistan. In India, manufacture of the pesh-kabz was centred in the northern city of Bhera, now part of Pakistan. During the First and Second Anglo-Afghan wars, the pesh-kabz was frequently the weapon of choice for finishing off wounded British and colonial troops, as the Afghan tribesmen did not take prisoners except for use as hostages. This is an original, large, sword size example of the pesh-kabz / choora form knife made some time in the early 20th Century. It has a heavy 19 ½” single edged T-Section blade (25 ½” overall). The blade is just under 2” wide at its broadest and the spine is 7mm thick at its widest. The blade has just age related staining & is sharp and undamaged. It has the correct curved pommel and finger guard. The grip frame has thick, grooved tropical hard wood scales secured by steel pins. The pommel of the grip frame has a small steel protrusion for wrist cord. The scales are intact and secure. The knife is complete with its original rare to find leather wrapped wood scabbard. All leather & stitching are intact. The scabbard has a large brass chape with hand tooled foliate decoration all around. The knife fits the open top scabbard snugly. The price includes UK delivery.

**RARE**Victorian Indian North West Frontier Era Afghan Banochie Tribe Folding Lohar 'Crow Bill' Sickle Fighting Knife / Axe With Etched Blade & Decorated Polished Bone Grip. Sn 22912 - 22912
The history of the Lohar is very obscure. They are rarely found outside Afghanistan. The Lohar is a pick-type weapon from the Banochie, a tribe in Afghanistan living near the Khyber Pass (see page 149 of Stones book ‘A Glossary Of Arms & Armour). Lohars were used with great effect against the British Cavalry units during the early Afghan wars. The word “Lohar” means “smith” or “metal smith”. This Lohar is in the Victorian era form. The Lohar is sometimes called a crow bill. Each man makes his own and has his own individual decoration patterns, although all are similar. This example has bone grips, 6” ‘crow bill' shaped blade with scalloped spine and etched decoration and measures 12 ½” overall when open. The grips and brass works are decorated overall in the distinctive Afghan style, with birdseye decoration. The birdseye talisman is the most prominent motif found on these weapons. The Lohar was made for fighting and replaced the sword among the Khyber tribes that used them. There are several variations of Lohar. This Lohar is a folding version and was intended for concealment. Despite its age the iron and brass folding mechanism works smoothly to open. The blade locking catch is present but does not lock the blade. Lohars were considered a prized status symbol within tribe families. The price for this rare attractive piece includes UK delivery. Sn 22912 (folding knives box near workbench)

**RARE**WW1 French Model 1916 ‘J.Delaire’ (Variant of "The Avenger of 1870") Fighting Knife & Scabbard. Sn 22831 - 22831
From 1915 the French began to develop trench weapons at the Châtellerault arms factory, with Lieutenant-Colonel Coutrot experimenting by converting existing military swords and bayonets into combat daggers. Several designs were decided upon and then sent to be manufactured by private firms. Despite such variety of knives being issued to French troops during the War, there was only one, the Modèle 1916, that received an official military designation. Given this fact, it is strange that the dagger was in fact devised by the cutlery manufacturer Astier-Prodon of Thiers, rather than Châtellerault. It was subsequently produced by a number of other civilian manufacturers to keep up with demand. Some of the Modèle 1916 daggers are marked 'Le Vengeur de 1870' on the blade, referencing the fall of Paris and French defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. This is an excellent, rare to find French Model 1916 Fighting Knife. WW1 variants by French makers available to French troops are identical to the Avenger of 1870 examples but without the Avenger inscription (see page 29 items 109 & 110 of Fighting Knives by Fred Stephens). Our knife by the French maker ‘J. Delaire’ has a 6 ¾” long steel double edged dagger blade with medial ridge and is correctly the same form as those found on European manufactured versions of the American pattern 1918 knuckle daggers. The blade is without Avenger inscription, the shank is manufacturer marked ‘J. Delaire’ within shield device. The flat, shaped, steel cross guard has a small inspection mark (illustrated). The knife measures 11 ¼” overall length. The original solid wood grip has a flat, round steel pommel tang screw / bolt. The hilt has a metal ferrule at the cross guard indicating mid to late war production (early models lack a metal reinforcing ferrule, to strengthen the connection of blade to hilt found on later examples). The blade and grip are totally secure with no movement. The correct original scabbard is pressed steel has correct elongated belt loop bar. The scabbard has original black paint finish and is numbered ‘331’ at the troat. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22831 (FS box)
