Hello
I`m writing to ask you for an identification of the dagger. Probably it comes from the period of the Mughal Empire`rule but I`m not sure, it`s a specific item. The hilt is made from jadeit and the carved motifs on it are specific too. I have never seen something like that before. Or maybe it was made as another turistic souvenir?It`s difficult to say and the blade looks as it had been used before. It is incrusted with silver and contains some symbols perhaps Islamic . Please for more information.

Best regards,
Alex.
