A 19th century Russian kindjal with straight double-edged blade with double fullers, blade length 33.5cm, terminating with engraved and gilt metal damascened panels depicting a bird and a lion, and brass mounted rhino horn handle, with green stained leather mounted wooden sheath. Note: as this lot incorporates rhinoceros horn, it would be very unlikely that a re-export certificate would be granted beyond the UK. Customers outside the UK are requested NOT to bid on this item.
