Rare, 19 C. “Fakir Horns” Dagger, India - 6664


This Fakir Horns is a non metal weapon, used by Indian Fakirs who were not allowed to use real steel weapons, but yet it is an excellent and lethal substitute. It is composed of a pair of antelope horns connected in the middle and sharpened tips. 30 inches tip to tip. Very good condition. The old connection rivets are slightly loose and pitted. This is an authentic and rare form of Indian weapon. Probably early 19 C. or even earlier.
