I believe this type of knife is called Spada Coltello and originals are from Greeks freedom war from 1821, I happened to find this a week ago and been trying to figure out how old it is. It has these carvings which google says are Urdu language ( Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language spoken chiefly in South Asia. It is the national language and lingua franca of Pakistan. ) but I dont understand it, if someone can translate would be great.
I also read somewhere that these were also remade in 1921 at war¨'s 100th anniversary. I found some with blue canvas and different "logos" on seath like snakes and stuff, this has two headed eagle on the other side and and "comedy & tragedy masks" on other, which origin from greece. All info is appreciated !
It seems to be very old but I'm not sure if it's THAT old. those carvings intrigue me most.
