Recent production
Yes, this is indeed of recent production.
Moreover, I do not consider this to be a pesh-kabz as it doesn't have any of the characteristics that define the pesh-kabz. It does neither have the long, sleek blade with a T- spine, nor the typical hilt adapted for under-hand grip.
I would call this knife a zirah-bouk as it has the typical reinforced "armour piercing" tip.
I have seen many modern versions of this type of knife but very, very few that are genuinely antique.
