I am sorry. It seems to me is not an old subject. The Beginning-middle of 20 centuries. Not 19 centuries.

I think I can see a cold shut on the spine; so hand forged ?
Dimensions Lew ? The handle/bolster style is unfamiliar to me . Why Kerala Lew ?

I thought it might be Kerala due to those small diagonal marks on the hilt. I have a small copper knife that has the same marks on the hilt. |

I really do not think this is mid 20th century maybe 1900 - 1920 at the latest? Will know more once it arrives. Still it seems to be a nicely made piece. What puzzles me is the strange shaped hilt never saw one like that before? They are usually of a birds head design this one is squared? |
