Jacques,

Thank you for continuing to share these wonderful examples from your collection. You have superb taste. To your question on age on this example I would put it to the late 18th to early 19th century. A lovely example!

Nice piece! As RSWORD said, you have a great taste. I wonder, is the silver fitting decoration common amongst Persian items? it reminds me of these 'mystery' khanjars that turned out to be from Kashmir or something.
