Hello,
thank you for your answers.
For me it is an ottoman Kard because of the shape (like a kitchen knife) and ottoman hallmarks on the silver mountings. One looks like a Tughra of an ottoman sultan. In my opinion the Koftgari is not especially indian. Furthermore there are some decoration elements, like a shell at the tip of the ferrule, which I often seen at ottoman daggers.
I don't think that the scabbard is much younger than the other parts of the dagger.
But the most important question is: What says the inscription?
Thank you ariel for your first advice.
I add some more photos of the inscription, the hallmarks and other details of the dagger. I hope they are helpful and nice to see.
Regards
