I agree with you. I can see a slight curve in the blade, so I agree with you that it's Pesh-Cabz. I think this is an honest piece. Late 19th century. I think this is Afghanistan |

Thanks again Khan, just as I thought but am not good on these regional pieces so waited to hear it from someone in the know.
