Wow, thanks guys! This is great feedback, I'm glad I posted it here. I have this posted on other non-blade specific forums and the feedback is not nearly as educated so I appreciate it very much. I've been sitting on this thing for more than a year wondering just what it is and what its made of. Now I know!
I'd still love to hear thoughts from others so please keep the opinions coming  Thanks again! Dzyner |

You should consider keeping it. It is a very good example that you'll struggle to easily replace. It dates to the 19th century and I would classify it as 'indo-Persian'. It shows strong Persian influence but the work especially on the spine makes me think Northern India/Afghanistan. Congratulations on a lovely piece. A little light oil on the rust on the blade would be an idea as it looks active. Regards Gene |
