I have no idea but my best guess is that it is, and a very nice example, but I am definitely not knowledgeable enough to make an educated statement.

Good point. But requires a conplicated answer. The general shape of the khanjar is that of tourist khanjars made to sell to tourists. But the quality is excellent, I would say its a good authentic item but not traditionally made when it comes to the overall shape.
