Hi Rajesh,
You are right and I have nothing to add really. The origins of these daggers is obscure, but Northern Israel, as Artzi says, is most probable and the first half of the last century is the age which I can not narrow to a specific decade. Anyway, these pieces are not common and are authentic and therfore, it is a nice catch :)
