Rare Mughal Dagger

Here is an example that sold at auction in 2012 for £20,000/$32,240, it looks like the stones and gold were removed and very bad replacements were added. As you can see the workmanship on this hilt does not look anything like some of the really nice ones posted here.

It looks like all the fold and good stones were removed, and replaced with lead covered with gold leaf.
