Persian kard to date

[Conduit]

Hello,

Would you help me to date this Persian kard knife which seem to have some age.

The blade, bolster and grip are decorated with gold koftgary which is mostly worn out now. Grip is made of polished ornamental stones strung onto the tang. Blade is about 18.5 cm.

My guess it is more likely Ottoman.
Koftgari-ed date was likely polished off. Again,-my guess,- 18 century, less likely early 19, possibly 17:-)

Similar, with a variety of decoration and scabbards. But origin is a mystery for me also.

The jade parts of the handle originally belonged to hookah mouthpieces.

I don't know where they come from (albeit I suspect the Asian Ottoman origin) but I don't see anything Persian.

But I might be wrong... :confused:
