Jacques, the shamshir, yataghan and this dagger you recently shown are all outstanding quality and beauty items. I join the rest of forumites to compliment you on your taste. As Dom mentioned, the khanjar fittings do resemble Indian Lucknow work, and the overall shape and design suggest Persian connection: either Indian made for Persian market or vice versa:-) we can safely use term "Indo-Persian" here, as during those times the areas were as intertwined as the trade routes connecting them.
