A 19th century Indian Khanjarli, with a shaped blade, silver coloured metal mounts, ivory handle, and scabbard with painted decoration (damages), 40.5 cm See illustration Condition report Report by RB The knife: Old splits and cracks to the ivory handle, which should be quite visible from the photographs, the silver coloured metal mounts to the handle where it meets the blade is incomplete to one side, a few nicks to the blade and with slight old surface rust, the scabbard is in a frail condition, with the tip having previously been broken off and is now crudely glued, the blade actually comes out through the side of the scabbard, and there is quite a lot of rubbing, as you would expect to the gilt decoration, but it is still a charming piece.

Ex Walter Steinberg collection; acquired London art market, 1960s-1970s. Walter Steinberg has been a well-known figure at fairs, sales and events for many years. Born in 1922 in Philadelphia, Walter has had a life-long passion for collecting. A long-time resident in London, he has now retired to New York and decided that the time has come to pass on the antiquities and coins he has collected over his lifetime. Walter acquired coins and artefacts that interested him, so his collection, although containing many lovely examples, also contains many affordable specimens. Much of the material has been unavailable to the market for 30 to 50 years. Walter hopes that the items he collected will now find new homes with the next generation of collectors.
