Definitely Indian
Well made Indian knife from end of the 19th C. or early 20th C. Made for European trade, as mentioned. The mosaic mother of pearl on the hilt is characteristic, as well as the brass guard and ferrule. I have its cousin that I will be posting shortly in the Swap Section.
Often these have the words "Victory" etched on one side of the blade and "Pure Steel" on the other. Ian. |
