Thoughts on the blade:
1. Could the blade not be wootz but laminated instead? 2. Could the blade be older woozy and later repurposed? Some possibilities I see for this blade being in Qajar mounts. Other thoughts? |

Грубоватые долы, крупное травление и последующая гравировка на клинке (соответствующая гравировке на рукояти и ножнах) - все за позднее изготовление клинка.
Rude valleys, large etching and subsequent engraving on the blade (corresponding to the engraving on the hilt and scabbard) - all for the later production of the blade. Last edited by Saracen; 17th November 2016 at 12:33 PM. |

Yet, I have seen quite a few Qajar Khanjars with wootz blades. So, if it will be the case, this one won't definitely be an exception.
I guess that most of them were refurbished older blades. |

Wootz blades were produced in Iran into the 20th century.
Nasr al-Din Shah (r. 1848-1896) was responsible for a neoclassical movement in Iran, designed to counter European influence and stimulate the economy. Swordsmithing was revived and some very good wootz blades were forged. A number of the better examples bear his name. |
