Sometimes so difficult to recognize fake from real,
especially for this kind of mixed items : not a ''basic'' indian/chinese replica
not a museum antique piece !

Suspicious too, the price: asking 300$ instead of 900 ...
What will a good copy cost ? 100-200 $ ( nothing ?!!

)

Hi francantolin, I am not an expert on these daggers and I didn't mean that they were fake for certain, just that they have some a-typical features that make me doubt their age. There is always a chance that you hit a museum piece for just a fistful of dollars

.
Close up picts of the blade could reveal more..
