Help identifying Qajar Kindjal
Hello everyone! I know this is a qajar kindjal, from the late 19th century, but does anyone know who might have made it, where is came from, where it was used? Thank you!

Looks to be Qajar indeed so probably used in Iran?
I have an identical one, the blade is wootz. Give it a test! |

I am pretty sure this one is Indian... and I would be surprised if it is wootz!
More exactly, I believe it to be an early 20th century Indian tourist replica.  But of course that I might be wrong...

The hilt is matching the scabbard and the fittings so I believe they are all original parts. |

I believe early 20th century Persian with perhaps some Indian influence.--bbjw
