Hi Tim,
Yes you are right ‘Hindu Arms and Ritual’ is a fantastic book; remember to read the notes as well.
The two daggers you compare with are different, and with different length of blades, as you dagger is quite another type you can’t compare them. Maybe your dagger was made like it is now, and maybe the blade was a bit longer from the start, we will never know – but it is a nice dagger all the same.
