I think it may be even " newer".
Decorative "gems" are secured by a technique imitating kundun, but in fact it is not gold amalgam, but rather wire around the perimeter. The blade is mechanical damaskus, and both this as well as fully intact decorations on the blade are epidemic on modern Indian creations.

I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
