Letterings on Pesh-Kabz

To me, this Pesh-kabz looks typical Persian. Very, very beautiful piece. This quality od engraving is very Persian. Also the overall shape and the style of decorations are Persian.

I am not sure about the scabbard, but it might be a later Afghan replacement.

Can you post some photos detailing the wootz pattern.

Marius, I agree with you 200%. Of course, the dagger itself is Persian. I have no doubt about that.
I think it has a scabbard made in Afghanistan, but not the dagger itself

It is a magnificent knife! I envy you for this piece... among others... 😉

But I believe the blade could benefit greatly from a good etching as the wootz patterning appears to be almost completely worn out.
