Hi Shawn,

This is a very nice dagger, and these daggers are not often seen. I have seen one, and only one, which had six or seven dagger within each other. Imagine the work to make such daggers, only the top best smiths were able to do it, and when you to this add the tools they had ad the time, then it is almost unbelievable that they could do it.

Thank you very much for showing

How about a close up of the date, as that can be a bit tricky acording to if it is Vikrama samvat or the calender we use - the difference is 56/57 years
