			Should be grateful for opinions about this dagger. Anything at all... 
		
		
		
			Sorry for terrible pictures but I do not have it in my own hands so I can not take my own pictures. Lenght around 25 cm. Best, Stefan  |

			I've wondered about Indian reproductions. Are many of these old blades with new fittings? Or is everything new and the blades are a mechanical damascus made to resemble wootz?

			Yes, everything is new and the blades are made of mechanical damascus, often rose damascus. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Decorative but not really collectable. Best Robin  |
