The Jamdhar Katari is a rare form of a dagger in the Indian arsenal. It was popular in North West India in the 16 C. and on. This one is late 19 C. with a very slightly curved blade 7 ½ Inches long. The blade is riveted to a whole steel handle with wide pommel and cross guard. This piece comes with its copper covered steel scabbard, probably a later addition to cover an original damaged steel. Total length (in scabbard) 12 ½ Inches. Good condition. Lightly dented scabbard.
