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... ![]() Last edited by mariusgmioc; 16th May 2024 at 06:44 PM. |

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

Since the original poster did not update us about the blade, I'll share mine.
The mounts are crude, but Qajar period produced high quality and low quality items. The blade though is wootz and I believe even the original poster's blade is wootz as well. Seems to be from the same workshop. |
