Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Dmitry and I am from Russia. I am particularly interested in the weapons from India/Iran as well as from their immediate neighbors. I'd like to show you this dagger: IMHO, Chillanum. I would date it to mid/end 18th century and attribute it to South India. I'd very much like to get your opinions. 
Thanks in advance.

 Whilst I can not with conviction accurately comment on this piece I would like to welcome to the community Dmitry.  
I like the delicate and slender lines that this dagger has, thank you for sharing.
