I do not believe the reported number of thread "reads" we see on the forum. The software accurately counts when the thread has been accessed, but this will include indexing bots and AI scans in addition to actual human reads.

I bought a similar khanjar in terms of the proficient silver filigree work in 1979, with a smaller plated blade; I suspect earlier 20th century, but I am no expert in these. I do not identify any marks other than random 'dings' from wear and use. Mine is also unmarked.

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will comment before too long.
