Default Indian Daggers?

Hi Everyone,

Whilst rooting in my collection I came across these three daggers which I think are 19th C.
Dagger No1:- I think that this is Indian with Arab influence, possibly from Bhuj. It is all steel construction with steel scabbard being decorated with koftgari work.
Overall length is 12.5 ins with a blade length of 8 ins x 1.375 ins wide.

Dagger No2:- I think that this is also Indian of all steel construction having a hilt of pistol or stylised birds head form with a chiselled foliage decoration. The blade is of flamboyant form with a decorated cartouche on each side.
The scabbard is of velvet covered wood, the nap having worn off the velvet.
Overall length is 18 ins with a blade length of 12.75 ins and width of 1.75 ins.

Dagger No3:- I am not sure whether this is Indian or Qajar period Persian. It is of all steel construction with a steel scabbard, the hilt and scabbard being decorated in a similar manner to Dagger No1.
Overall length is 15.5 ins with a blade length of 10.25 ins and width of 2 ins.

Your comments and confirmation or otherwise of origins and dating would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Miguel
