I purchased it more because I thought it was an interesting piece rather than any attempt to become a collector.
I've searched through the internet and cannot find a dagger that looks anything like it at all (other than the slight curvature), and am very curious as to whether anyone can identify what type of dagger this is, where it came from ethnographically, and if anyone could hazard a guess as to its age. I can add more pictures if anyone needs more detail.
Thanks in advance for any insights! |
Hello, rakdagger
Unfortunately, the seller either did not know about this dagger himself, or deceived you. This is a modern dagger, most likely made in Pakistan in the late 20th or early 21st century...
