Medieval style dagger repro but how old ??

[francantolin]

Hello,
For me,
Bad late 20th indian reproduction

[Marius66]

Maybe the blade yes
But guard and pommel are really well made and seems not recent.
Any other thoughts ??

No offense Marius but, dare i say a decoration item all the way through; a letter opener maybe ? .

What did the seller represent it as?

Thank you all for teh message
It said an old dagger in medieval style old reproduction
with real gold ans silver engravings.
Total length 52cm /20,4 inches long overall
long for a letter opener.
I thought about a theater dagger but too much chiselled and why a damas ( fake) blade ?

Well, Damascus blades are turned out by the thousand nowadays.

Copies can be quite nice. I would enjoy this one for what it is: a nicely done repro.

I know next to nothing about European blades but could it be a 19th century Toledo dagger?
Attached is an example I found on the net.
