Medieval style dagger repro but how old ??

[Marius66]

Thank you Francantolin
for your imput !

I sharpened the edges and age the blade with a special trick ,
I find it looks older/ authentic now

This is a LATE 20th century ('60-'80) INDIAN reproduction.
The pattern welded damascus is of quite typical Indian type (low quality and mass produced) and so are the decorations. And NO, the fact that it has a pattern welded damascus blade does not make it a "real weapon" unless you consider wallhangers and letter openers "real weapons."
Now, you can believe what you want but this is my opinion.

Hello Marius,
The Marius's war ,😁
That's what I asked in my first post ( indian damas...)
but I couldn't find any like this one.
I'm still not sure it is 19th/early 20th but it is strongly made and if it is mass produced it won't be difficult to find similar ones on internet, ebay...

PS: it's not my fault if your silver Phurba was placed in the miscellania forum and not considered no more as a weapon but a deco piece, I also have one and they are really well made and ethnics collectable items

Sorry Marius. We brought back your piece and so reopened a chance to find someone in the Euro forum with solid or common evidence that this is an actual weapon... on the contrary. Now it is time to send it back to Miscellania forum. This doesn not prevent the piece from being seen by members with some evidence or consensual opinion is presented over its authenticity.

Ok thank you Fernando,
It's closed with the Phurba dagger,
I'd just like to receive pictures of these indian mass produced european medieval daggers for comparison precisely

[mariusgmioc]

Yes... Marius...
...but not war!

I meant the pattern welded damascus is mass produced not the dagger!
The dagger is manually and individually made, and so is the blade but from mass produced pattern welded billet.
