I agree Detlef. This is a decorative piece. I note a number of Persian motifs on the blade (e.g. a lion taking down a beast, etc.). I guess one might call it Indo-Persian.

Howdy Guys
I agree it is likley decorative Though i have not seen one similar and it does have some age to it. The damascene is done the proper way with crosshatching. I am mainly trying to find where made and why go to so much trouble to make. Also can anyone decipher the inscriptions on the inside ?
I have had it for 30 years. I originally thoight tourist item but as ive never seen another i felt there must be another purpose.
Cheers Shane
