Hi,
I think your dagger is from India. It may have found it's way onto the arabian peninsula but it has a definite Indian format. Total silver/metal of good quality, floral decoration, round bud or blossom at the tip, fabric between chape and locket (usually with a metal connecting strip on the back).
It does not show too much ware and tear, but I also don't understand why the locket does not seem to fit snugly?
Nice piece! Good one.
Regards,
Steve
