Dagger ID & Verification Requested

[RobT]

Patterson25,

As Ian said, a nice Anglo-Indian knife. Most of the ones of this type that I have seen have curved blades like the example shown below. I don’t know if they were made for those who travel per se. Every one I have seen is well made. I think they were made for upper echelon members of the British Raj. I am hoping that the dagger I presented to start this thread is another such example, just made at the very end of the British Raj.

Sincerely,
RobT

Maybe it's the lighting, but the blade looks very crude.
Almost uncompleted.

Hi,
I forgot to mention your pommel with parrot head and chased metalwork, it should be from Northern India or Kutch...
