Typically I would never argue with Artzi over the attribution of anything, but to my eye these look quite Indian, late 19th to very early 20th century. I am just noting the apparently ceremonial styles, loss of what appears to be silver koftgari, and what appears to be "faux" damascus steel. Then there is a the trident which is typically seen with the Hindu god Shiva.

I suppose if we were to apply the term "Indo-Persian" that would be enough to satisfy me in a compromise with the original attribution!
