19C Indo-Persian Koftgari Scissor Katar / Katara Punch Dagger, sold

A good 19th Century Indo-Persian Koftgari Scissor Katar / Katara Punch Dagger.

In good condition for its age, the inner 6 1/4 Inch blade is tarnished, but good. The dagger is 14 1/2 inches long in total; the scissor / blade cover sections are each 7 1/4 inches long. The assembly has some movement, but this is normal. The grip exposure system works well. The koftgari is worn and faded. Well worth £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference N38 (1311). Further / full-sized pictures available upon request.
