with hidden dagger. brass (?) elephant silver (?) inlays, photos look like it may have a sharpened edge

just picked up from ebay auction, no further info till it arrives.

what little research i have found on the net, these are not qajar parade axes, but axes from the sindh region, indus delta, now pakistan, then india. more info to follow. thanks for any info you may have on these.
