Hello everybody,
Someone can tell me something about this dagger (21" OVL), is it Indo persian or tourist toys souvenir?
Thank you in advance.

I have seen these before and with these pages I am sure.

Although along the lines of Kastane, I think they were Thai military in nature, sort of a parade thingy???

I am sure another will come in with more accuracy.

If I'm not mistaken i see a forging pattern on the tip on one of the pictures. That means not for tourists. The whole piece looks to me too well executed to be a tourist piece. Would like to know how broad the backside of the blade is.
Don't know where it comes from or what it is.
