Just got this off ebay, a Persian dagger, blade shape standard.

The seller says this the handle is rhino horn - I'm not putting much stock on that. The interesting bit is that he dates it to early 20th century - could this be the case for a Qajar piece? Was this type produced until that late?

Thanks,

Emanuel
