Description
This antique dagger is from the "Nels Stout Antique Knife Collection". Nels was born in the mid-1880's and began his knife collection shortly after the turn of the century. I believe it is an antique 18th century large Indo-Persian Dagger. Bone grip handle. Original fabric scabbard. Overall length 13.25". Blade length is 9.25". Some surface corrosion can be found on the blade.

afghan khyber knife. Not saying this is what it is.. Is the scabbard. made of wood? covered in fabric? Original fabric scabbard. ? the condition of the blade, I would think there would be the same aged look on it? who told you it was Original?.
Do you have a photo of the top of the blade> is it thick?. Little note these were used to penatrate chain-link armor, so they are not to sharp.
I can tell you this.. the more carvings on these knifes the more they are worth..the plain ones not so much.. could you give me a little more info? Thanks..
