Persian Qajar Dagger

I have seen this on ebay and wanted to bid on it. The craftmanship is excellent and Dom is right, it did have patina in the auction photos if I remember correctly.

Now the decoration is defintly good and the blade appears to be well made certainly not like the new indian stuff but the shape of the whole piece is unlike any Qajar piece I have seen..

It is possible that its Indian work but real work, not touristy. One thing for sure Indians borrow art from Persians so its all possible.
