Hate to be the person who brings bad news, but someone has to do it. The dagger is Indian. The dating is off by a couple of hundred years, as this is a modern creation.

Not bad news, I’m just trying to identify it. Approximately when do you think it was made, and is this hilt style common for modern Indian daggers?

It was made within a few years of when you bought it. Which is perfectly fine - a lot of us have started our collecting with similar items.

Before I retired a few years ago I had a job that allowed me to travel all over the world. I tried to pick up a knife or sword wherever I went, and in some cases received them as gifts from business associates.
I consider the items souvenirs, not collector's items, and am just trying to learn a little about them now that I have the time. This forum is proving to be a great place to do that. Thank you for sharing your expertise! |
