Description:

Produced at an unknown date, this is a fine katar outfitted with a pair of box lock screw barrel percussion pistols, one on each support arm, oriented in line with the blade. The katar measures 18 1/4 inches overall, with a 10 1/2 inch double edged spear point blade, shaped with broad double fullers, a raised reinforcement spine, and a floral motif at the base. The arms are 8 5/8 inches long and 2 5/8 inches wide at the grip, a dual-bar arrangement with the space between the bars decorated with two sculpted scenes of large birds, possibly hamsa, fighting. The pistols are numbered "1" and "2" on both the barrel and frame, respectively, each featuring light border engraving on the sides, a fish head hammer, and an engraved floral pattern to match the design on the blade behind the hammer.

Rating Definition:

Fine overall, with a mixed gray patina and scattered mild spotting. The blade shows some chips and nicks along the edge, and some mild pitting is present on the pistols. Pistol #1 has a battered nipple, but both appear to be in good mechanical order.
