Thank you very much Fernando !!

Here the ''same'' kind of damascened steel


And old velvet covered parade swords or dagger

Some models with xxl historic importance...

Hello Marius,

Really nice dagger !
The new pictures help a lot!
An high quality dagger certainly expensive but not old I guess,
For me made by a blacksmith in the second period of the 20th century.
PS: I'd like to get one like that

[Marius66]

I just want to add this picture,
The blade moves a little in the scabbard and the velvet is used/missing inside so I don't think all dagger and scabbard are so recent.

Looking for my monogramms and Kaiser Willhelm II,
I found this german royal gift dagger with damas blade.

If it hadn't such an amazing history,
we could think it is just a recent reproduction

Thank you Francantolin
for your imput !

I sharpened the edges and age the blade with a special trick ,
I find it looks older/ authentic now

This is a LATE 20th century ('60-'80) INDIAN reproduction.
The pattern welded damascus is of quite typical Indian type (low quality and mass produced) and so are the decorations. And NO, the fact that it has a pattern welded damascus blade does not make it a "real weapon" unless you consider wallhangers and letter openers "real weapons."
Now, you can believe what you want but this is my opinion.
