19th C. Ganga-Jamuni Dual Percussion Pistol Katar (Bundi / Alwar Attribution)

Hi Jonathan,

I'm afraid I have bad news. It is very crude work. Not only is the Koftgari basic, but the cutting and steel work are also crude, as is the figure engraved on the blade.

In addition, there are some awkward features on the central bar and the Zulfiqar blade. In sum, it is a mid or late 20th c work.

Your post raises some very good questions for forum members about AI. I suspect that the description you provided was written by ChatGPT. My experience is that AI cannot properly assess antiques.

Sorry for the bad news.
