Hello,
thank you everybody ! Yes this koftgari is too perfect for be true ! Sometimes so difficult to recognize fake from real, especially for this kind of mixed items : not a ''basic'' indian/chinese replica not a museum antique piece ! Suspicious too, the price: asking 300$ instead of 900 ... What will a good copy cost ? 100-200 $ ( nothing ?!!  )

Or this chilanum hilt,
sold by Christie's in 2014, said to be from 18th century. Who can after all really authenticate if fake or true ?

Hi francantolin, I am not an expert on these daggers and I didn't mean that they were fake for certain, just that they have some a-typical features that make me doubt their age. There is always a chance that you hit a museum piece for just a fistful of dollars
 .Close up picts of the blade could reveal more.. |
