It looks Indian to me, in imitation of older horse handle khanjars, though not antique.

I would agree with TVV - from India but not an antique

Indian or Pakistani, 20th century work, most likely for foreign collector/tourist market.
They are still made these days, usually with low quality pattern welded blades. Just eBay "mughal horse dagger" and you'll see what I mean. Almost all that advertise wootz blades are shameless fakes with pattern welded low quality blades. Last edited by mariusgmioc; 5th October 2021 at 02:01 PM. |
