Question Indian Dagger

Here's a dagger I had the pleasure of holding a little while back. The owner has given permission to show some pics in order to try to learn some more about it here.

The smaller of the two knives fits in the larger one like a glove. And it is almost unbelievable how precisely the little "spring"-latch-mechanism on the handle was crafted.
The hilt on the larger dagger is ivory and the smaller, bone.
There is a date(?) on the spine which I was told was 1898 (I think). Don't know if that is a western or Hindu date.

Hope you enjoy,
Shawn
