Talking about the Chicago dagger.
Clearly modern-looking pattern welded blade, suposedly coming from a time when almost all daggers were sporting wootz blades.
If it were for this reason alone and I would suspect a fake.
Also silver Koftgari in exceptionally good condition from a time when gold Koftgari was almost exclusively used.
Everything points to a modern production dagger and how the "specialists"of the Chicago Institute got their oppinion is beyond my understanding.
