What is the origin of knife?

Could this be considered a Kard?
I leaning towards copper on the scabbard, a magnet failed to adhere to it. |
My wild guess would be India, late 19 century. May be even later composite.
|
Ariel I think that is reasonable for now.
And the scabbard could also be brass or bronze. I do think the hilt is very recent. Again I'm with Ariel so far on it being a composite with Indian parts. |
Ariel & Jose, thanks for the assessments.
Jose, how recent would you say the hilt is? |
I agree with the Indian origin but I believe that, it is not older than 20 century. From what I see, the blade appeart to be a modern attempt to replicate wootz. :shrug:
|
Ok i'll play with you too.
Old blade end of 19th c. and wootz Scabbard 20th c. early tourist object 1900. Hilt late 20th. c. All from India. :cool: |
Marius & Kubur, thanks for sharing your opinions on this knife.
