I am uncertain if I am allowed to say this or not, but will try. The moderators can remove it if is not allowed.
I purchased this item and the "beater sword" in Michigan. Both were sold as 19thc.

Thanks Stu. You may be right, but three things bother me about it being tourist: 1) it is not as "pretty" as most of the tourist items I have seen, and 2) it shows significant wear, and 3) I have...

19thc Indo-Persian or 20thc tourist?
I would like to solicit comments about this knife. It was sold as 19thc Indo-Persian. I'm not sure what to make of it. I can't rule out that it is 20thc tourist. Please let me know what you think....

Here is one from my collection that I like and that is similar to yours, though not as nice. :) It is silver and I think early 20th. These are still carried and used by the Bedouin tribes in Israel...

Thanks!

Two Omani Khanjars for comment
I am not sure what I think of these. Surprisingly, they both have respectable blades, and they have been sharpened. I like them but am not sure if either is a weapon. Do you suppose they started out...

Thanks David, and others. I did OK on the first of the tests that Helleri recommended, but the second test is a real killer. :) I hope these are better photos. I have included some closeups of the...
