Hi Kurt,
Great picture, and a very nice chilanum, and thank you for commenting. I agree with you in your comments, but I doubt that it is from the beginning of 1600. Anyway it is old and very nice. Jens |

Hi Kurt,
Once again excellent pictures, of a very nice dagger. 17th century sounds like a safe guess, and it is from Deccan – but you knew that already, didn’t you? Jens |

Hi Kurt,
Yes, 17th or early 18th century, and I agree with Deccan. Again very nice pictures. Did you clean the daggers yourself, or were they cleaned when you got them? Jens |

Clean

I bought the dagger as a lump of rust. To clean them I needed three months. Was a big surprise when I discovered the well preserved Kofgari. Kurt |
