It's easy, Galvano, as it could be only one opinion - Very Nice:-)
Nice walrus hilt of above average quality. The blade appears to be wootz. You're right - Persian/Qajar, 19th Cent. Very elegant jambiya. Would benefit from light blade cleaning and etching as it appears to have small amounts of rust, but do NOT clean the hilt. |

Khorasani published several of them in his book; most taken from Artzi and Avner's collection and attributed to Dr. David Darom ( why?).
They are bizarre, to my mind, with their "domestic bliss" motive or occasional frank pornography. Can't imagine them used as weapons
