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.

Bonsoir Jacques
the two sentences are identical, even if the writing looks different
extracted from the Holy Quran, it's a part of a verse
NASRUN MIN ALLAH WA FAT'HUN QAREEB either WHEN THE VICTORY GRANTED BY ALLAH AND THE CONQUEST COME
this khanjar it's really a beauty, at my understanding, more Indian than Persian, but I might be wrong ;)
amicalement

Jacques, the shamshir, yataghan and this dagger you recently shown are all outstanding quality and beauty items. I join the rest of forumites to compliment you on your taste. As Dom mentioned, the khanjar fittings do resemble Indian Lucknow work, and the overall shape and design suggest Persian connection: either Indian made for Persian market or vice versa:-) we can safely use term "Indo-Persian" here, as during those times the areas were as intertwined as the trade routes connecting them.
