The Russian Military Kindjal served the Russian & Ottoman armed forces well into the mid-20th century. It originated in the Georgian Republic of Russia, but was best known as a Cossack weapon. On September 30, 1918, a combined Arab and Australian force arrived in Damascus, Syria, to spearhead its liberation from the Turks during World War I, before British troops arrived the following morning to seal the deal.

**RARE**WW1 French Model 1916 ‘Coutellerie 31 Besset Thiers’ (Variant of "The Avenger of 1870") Fighting Knife & Scabbard. Sn 22162:2 - 22162:2
From 1915 the French began to develop trench weapons at the Châtellerault arms factory, with Lieutenant-Colonel Coutrot experimenting by converting existing military swords and bayonets into combat daggers. Several designs were decided upon and then sent to be manufactured by private firms. Despite such variety of knives being issued to French troops during the War, there was only one, the Modèle 1916, that received an official military designation. Given this fact, it is strange that the dagger was in fact devised by the cutlery manufacturer Astier-Prodon of Thiers, rather than Châtellerault. It was subsequently produced by a number of other civilian manufacturers to keep up with demand. Early models lack a metal reinforcing ferrule, to strengthen the connection of blade to hilt found on later examples. Some of the Modèle 1916 daggers are marked 'Le Vengeur de 1870' on the blade, referencing the fall of Paris and French defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. This is an excellent, rare to find French Model 1916 Fighting Knife. WW1 variants by French makers available to French troops are identical to the Avenger of 1870 examples but without the Avenger inscription (see page 29 items 109 & 110 of Fighting Knives by Fred Stephens). Our knife by the French maker ‘Coutellerie 31 Besset Thiers’ has a 6 ¾” long steel double edged dagger blade with medial ridge and is correctly the same form as those found on European manufactured versions of the American pattern 1918 knuckle daggers. The blade is without Avenger inscription, the shank is manufacturer marked ‘Coutellerie 31 Besset Thiers’. The flat, shaped, steel cross guard has a small inspection mark (illustrated). The knife measures 11 ¼” overall length. The original solid wood grip has a flat, round steel pommel tang screw / bolt. The hilt has a metal ferrule at the cross guard indicating mid to late war production. The blade and grip are totally secure with no movement. The correct original scabbard is steel has correct elongated belt loop bar. The scabbard has some scuffs to the original black paint finish consistent with age and service use. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22162:2 (fighting knives box)

**VERY LARGE**QUALITY**19th Century French Riberon Spanish Import Navaja Folding Fighting / Utility Knife With Maker Marked Sharp Scimitar Form Blade, Decorated Polished Horn & Brass Section Scales. Sn 22193 - 22193
The Navaja is a traditional Spanish folding-blade fighting and utility knife. One of the oldest folding knife patterns still in production, the first true Navajas originated in the Andalusian region of southern Spain. In Spain, the term navaja is often used to generally describe all folding-blade knives. The etymology of the word navaja is derived from the Latin novacula, meaning razor, and the Andalusian knife known as the navaja is thought to have derived from the navaja de afeitar, or straight razor used for shaving. Like the straight razor, the navaja's blade folds into the handle when not in use. In Spain the navaja epitomized the concept of a defensive knife to be carried at all times on the person. The design is thought to have been first adopted by the working classes - mule drivers, teamsters, artisans, and sailors as well as by the majos, the "gentlemen of the lower class" of Andalusia. Its association with barateros, pícaros, jácaros and rufos (gamblers, rogues, ruffians, and thugs) comes from its frequent use as a weapon of the underworld, where it was often used to enforce the collection of gambling debts or to rob innocent victims. Towards the end of the 19th century, French cutlers started mass-producing millions of navajas, and eventually drove the Spanish artisanal production out of business. This quality made example is one of the French export Navajas made for the Spanish market. The steel blade in scimitar form is just over 8” in length, 1 ½” broad at its widest and the spine is 3mm thick. The blade has dark age related staining consistent with age and one side has the faint French makers name ‘Riberon’, a known maker of Navaja's. The knife measures 17 ¾” overall length when open. The knife has Polished Horn scales set on a brass frame & secured by dome head brass pins. The lower polished horn sections have attractive typical naïve foliate hand applied decoration. The upper scales have been polished until translucent and coloured with a Tortoise Shell appearance. One of the upper scales is inlaid with a white metal escutcheon engraved with flower device. The upper scalloped bolsters are brass. The lower bolsters have typical brass roundels. The price for this attractive fighting / utility knife worthy of further research regarding the maker includes UK delivery. Sn 22193 (folding knives drawer office)
