Pesh kabz like dagger - mistery from ebay
 

Anybody got a clue of what that dagger is and where is from and how old?

Blade has reinforced tip for chainmails, the hilt is a mistery, with shashka like ears and two color horn.


Sorry forgot the to tell the Ebay number: 230256348320

I like it :) the blade seems Northern Indian with a Greek/Ottoman hilt that was added at a later date.

I dont see anything Greek/Ottoman here. The hilt looks like the imagination of an Indian maker about a Greek/Ottoman hilt ;)

My first impression was that this is fairly recent Central Asian work imitating old Indo-Persian Pesh style. Very similar daggers are made in Afganistan, Kazakstan/Uzbekistan/...stan areas nowadays, and many are "aged" to look old, some have chiselled blades, etc. Hard to tell by the pictures, but obvious when you handle and see them up close.
