content: Information from Leonid Lantsman, 2014: 19th C. Persian khanjar from the era of the Qajar Dynasty, likely mid 19th C. This example features a watered steel blade with a ribbed cross-section and chiseled images of a lion attacking a gazelle at the ricasso, a typical Persian design. The grip is damascened in gold koftgari, while the scabbard is covered in pebbled ass-skin with an ivory ball finial.
