not changing my mind, Ariel

there is no evidence it was done after 1925

this kind of work is almost exclusively associated with Qajar, so the term sticks

what I meant is that if it was done in 1926 by a master who continued making them a year prior... but that is subjective of course. the motif is certainly Qajar and I do not believe it is much later.

By the way, does anyone have similarly styled jambiya of Pahlavi era for comparison?
