Indian Dagger for ID

[olikara]

It is only a 'local' dagger. You find similar pieces in India where a knife maker puts up a hilt and blade all depending on utility and some vague idea in his mind. The hilt (pommel, rather) here is similar to a choora hilt or a 'Rampuri dagger' hilt also derieved from Indo-Afghan tradition. The blade seems bowie type and we saw many such blades coming to India in the 30s and 40s and later village knife makers copied them in profusion.

So the answer to your question is this piece has no specific name but is still interesting because it is bot old and carries memories of older traditions and styles.
