Mughal Katar

Greetings to all !

I am a 'newbie' here so if I make mistakes, please enlighten me so that I don;t repeat past mistakes. My son, age 13, is very much interested in, and a collector of Islamic weapons. We have purchased what has been described as an 18th century Mughal 'Scissors' Katar. From extensive research on the web, my son has estimated it's age at approximately 18th century. Basically my son is interested in opinions of others more knowledgeable that may either confirm or negate this estimate. I have included some digital pix of this Katar for your perusal. Any help would be MOST appreciated ! From past 'trolling' of this site we have been extremely impressed by the knowledge of it's users ! We're hoping that someone may be able to assist us in determining the accuracy of perceived information !
Thank you very much in advance for any help that any member can render ! Please see attached images of the 'Scissors Katar'
