    Hello,
    I happened to find what I think is an antique Khanjar, that has been in my husbands family for a long time. It is made of all silver, very ornate, showing different drawings of people and animals on the sheath as well as the handle. It also has 3 stars and the word Syria on the blade.
    Does anyone know what it may be worth?
    Sincerely, Terri Nichols

    Hi Terri,

    You might want to contact Raj Relics and inquire/enquire about the price. (24490620/99329842) Email: enquiries@rajrelics.com http://www.rajrelics.com
    Another great place to ask is the Omani Heritage Gallery which is a non-profit organization in between O Sole Mio Italian restaurant and D’Arcy’s in Shatti al Qurum. (Tel: 24696974, http://www.omaniheritage.com)

    Sounds like an impressive Khanjar. I’d like to see that one! (Feel free to email me a pic…:-))
    I’d check out the prices for curiosities sake but that sounds like something you might want to hold on to!
