Actually, the term Para-I-Tutti is from Tiris' book "Islamic weapons". He uses it to describe another conventional Pesh Kabez on the next page.
I'm aware of the ongoing reproductions out there and this may well be one. I have just seen one of these blade tip hooks now on I'm sure a recent dagger.
That hook may well be made up from someones imagination or from observations. If we don't see lots of these suddenly on the market, that maybe the style is valid, if not with the hook. In the mean time I'll crackup watching the birdie! Thank you all, Steve
