yes, it does have that "Eared" look that some Balkan daggers have. The people where I bought it claim that it came from Bikaner, a small kingdom north of Jaipur.

Stan–I know exactly what you mean. It obviously takes patience and luck to find anything genuine. Luckily for me, I had my iPad with me and showed them what wootz looks like, as well as what a well-made dagger looks like. They had no answer to that. A picture is worth 1000 words.
