Medieval style dagger repro but how old ??
Good day gentlemen,
Can this dagger be something good ?? It seems well done but the velvet is too much and the damas blade seems weird on this kind of dagger. Can it be spanish ?? Indian recent fake damas blade ?? do indians 'fake 'bladesmith'' make these models in recent reproductions ? I didn't find any line this one. Caveat emptor... Kind regards |

Maybe the blade yes
But guard and pommel are really well made and seems not recent. Any other thoughts ?? |

It said an old dagger in medieval style old reproduction with real gold ans silver engravings. Total length 52cm /20,4 inches long overall long for a letter opener. I thought about a theater dagger but too much chiselled and why a damas ( fake) blade ? |
