I had one very similar. I am not so sure they are that old, early 20th century. Rather like many silver foil covered Dha, picked up during ww2. Still a very attractive knife and to get a good buy is always nice.

I saw a John Wayne film set in ww2 Burma. Silver foil dhas were being given to all the soldiers as gifts.
