Hey,

Looks like a Qajar period Khanjar. Janbiya is a strict Yemeni term and these daggers were actually called Khanjar by Persians.

Its worth giving it an etch sometimes these can be wootz.

weapons27, try putting your camera on "macro" mode, or stand back further so the item is in focus. Difficult to discern much from blurry pics.

the problem is the need to compress photos to the forum and this altered the quality of photos once enlarged

These photos are no longer needed so I have deleted them.
