Unpretentious Ottoman dagger

[ALEX]

Whereas Norman's dagger looks more authentic 19th Century or about, Dom's dagger is not quite. Where would one see similar reference? and why compare to something else based on shape alone and disregarding major structural elements?:-) those discs and stamped decorative embelishments look bizzare. Ask yourself: "would they inspire respect and admiration from 19th century Ottoman onlookers?":-) Here are a few similar, I'd call Fantasy Daggers, one very similar and one of the same class.
Dom, you asked for honest opinion, right?:-)
