17-18th century is correct for the hilt age
18th-9th century for the blade and 20th century for the scabbard

What do you think ?
Every comment is welcomed

Kind regards

Hello francantolin

This is a good Katar. But it seems to me that the hilt is the 18th century, the blade is the 19th, but I agree with you with the scabbard - the 20th century (most likely late).
I do not insist on these dates. Perhaps those forum participants who specialize in Indian arms and armors will say more precisely
