Nice Old Katar With a Little Restoration

Runjeet, my point was, that some use the term South India for everything south of Rajasthan - and I find that wrong.
I agree with you that it is Deccani, and to say 18th century might also be right.
Your Tiger Tooth is interesting, as I think it could be from South India, and not from Deccan, due to the decoration on the blade.
Does the decoration not show two peacocks, maybe not easily seen if you don't know what to look for, with their tails meeting in the middle of the blade to form the cypress/tree of life?
