I wouldn't say that this is typical but nonetheless this sheath covering looks original to me. I have no problem with your dagger, it is a nice and a bit unusual piece.

The decoration of the fittings - the deep, floral and oriental looking engravings with niello in the surfaces between them - is very typical for that region. Also the blade with simple but elegant...

Hello,

this is clearly a dagestani Kindjal, the fittings and maybe the whole dagger are made in the town Kubachi.
The age is difficult to estimate for me. Maybe early 20th century, but it could...

Yes, you are right, it is a recent decorative piece, rather for tourists than for locals. But the mountings are normally made of "real" silver by hand. So it is nonetheless a piece of Omani...

There is nothing wrong with this Kindjal. All parts are typical for Dagestan, probably made in the early 20th century. Nice piece.

Hello,

the dagger itself looks like an older one. The scabbard is probably added or repaired later.

The handle could be rhino, can you make better pictures (also from...

I know that the dagger with the naval etching I have shown here is not very old, I would guess 1970s. A bit earlier or later production is of course possible, too. Stainless steel daggers combined...

I think that many 19th and early 20th century Vendetta daggers are decorative or touristic, too. A second piece I own is a miniature version. Because of the size and the delicate construction it is...

Hello,

for me, your dagger is simply an old decorative Solingen made dagger. The handle might be looking brazilian and of course it is possible that it was made for the export to Brazil, but such...

Hello,

I doubt that your saber is very old, I would say it was made in the second half of the 20th century, maybe as a present (how Marius said) or as a better touristic piece. The etched and...
