dagger with jewells and beads, with a king face stamped on blade
A lot of ornaments, I've tried to find something like this on internet but 0 results. I think is a jambiya style dagger. 24.5cm blade with a crowned head motif to one side. the grip and scabbard beaded with faux gem decorations. overall 42 cm long.

Dear Sorin-Ionut,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be an Indian dagger made out of steel, probably wood, and artificial stones like glass or similar and has an overall length of 42 cm. This piece was made in the 20th century. The blade with a brass inlay decor could be older.
As a comparable, I attach a link to the page LiveAuctioneers. Even when you are not a member you can see the images and the estimate (https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/27993342_an-indian-dagger-inlaid-with-seed-pearls-and-coloured).
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 GBP.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear Sorin-Ionut,
Thank you for your email. I think this blade is not older than the late 19th century and that does not increase the estimate.
With kind regards,
Georg
Thank you very much for your help.
But what about the blade i can see that is very old, and that stamp is unique .
