Hello Phil

Congratulations. This is a children's dagger (kinjal), made by a Dagestan master in the late 19th - early 20th century on the territory of the Russian Empire or the Ottoman Empire

Thankyou Khan, Great knowledge as always.

Hello Phil,

that is a gorgeous and cute, I really love the fullering!

Good to learn it is really for children. I happen to have a sibling which is curved, offset single fuller. The thingy in the closeups seems like a letter or makers mark, at least it doesn't strike me as a forging flaw.

Kind regards,
Eric.
