A silver dagger from Persia?

Hello Hielke,

Closest one I can find in Elgood is a khanjar identified as Persian. To me your dagger does indeed look Persian, and it's a beauty. The little stone on the pommel is odd though, I haven't seen that before.
The Arabian khanjars tend to have wider blades. Elgood doewsn't say anything specific about the pictured dagger. I will read the rest of the chapter for a relevant mention.

Regards,
Emanuel
