Nice dagger!! Which shop was that? just kidding.... Like how the grip scales are larger than the tang, very correct mounting and could be original to it. The shape of the blade looks very Indian, the style of gold decoration looks Persian, the grip scales appear Mughal to me. Nice find!!!

Kards are usually straight and single edged blades, the Indian arms have so many variations, it sometimes seems endless....

Now, aren't you glad your a collector?
