Indopersian Dagger For Comment
 
9 Attachment(s)
Hi all! I was wondering if I could get some comments on this dagger. OAL ~14" . I tried to pic up the patterning on the blade which could be wootz?
Also if anyone could help with the translation I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks a bunch!

This khanjar is contemporary production.

Agree with Valjhun. These daggers are mostly made in India and appear around the world in search of unsuspected tourists to whom it is marketed as old.

Thanks! I had my suspicions about it, and wanted them confirmed. Don't worry, I only paid a reproduction price for it, and it doesn't seem like a bad little dagger in that context. :) Would still love a translation, should anyone be willing...
