Description

Lovely mid 19th century knife and leather scabbard which is a rare survivor from the first Anglo-Afghan conflict 1839-42. The knife has a bone handle in typical tribal Afghan form which has been clearly marked on one side 'Afghanistan' and on the other 'Kandahar'. It comes complete with its original leather scabbard. It has a great folk art look and was most probably brought back by a British soldier after completion of the war. Overall condition is good for its age with only minor signs of use and wear to the knife and scabbard. A great piece for anyone interested in military history/ collector of militaria. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.
