Were the hilt all(100%) jadeite I would say late 1800s-early 1900s, and very much made for the British "den market"....not at all a bad dagger just not the upper crust of what the Indians were capable of.

The ones with the white hilt center and contrasting lines I do believe are later than those mentioned above, but exactly how late I am not sure.

As noted, mine dates from about 1920.

Wonderfully detailed answers as always, thanks to all.

I do/did not expect them to be very old but judging from the patina (I do have an advantage, I can have a first-hand look at them) and the state of the leather on the scabbard, their age must surely be counted in decades, so late 20th seems unlikely to me, probably more like mid 20th.

Again, lots of thanks!
