Gav, did they, Wallis people, claimed it is 17th Century? Just curions... I do not see this Kard as being 400 y.o.
in addition to Persian
Similar silver coftgari decor could have been done in India, Syria, Turkey, Cent.Asia + 12 other countries:-) The scabbard tip in particular makes me think it is Syrian - I've seen similar tips on not so old Syrian daggers. Are there any marks or stamps, and also - have you test-etched the blade for wootz?
