Hi Kurt,
Yes, 17th or early 18th century, and I agree with Deccan.
Again very nice pictures. Did you clean the daggers yourself, or were they cleaned when you got them?

Hi Jens,
I bought the dagger as a lump of rust.
To clean them I needed three months.
Was a big surprise when I discovered the well preserved Kofgari.

Well you did a very good job of cleaning. Not often do you see the koftgari, much less in this type of condition. Thank you for sharing.
