Similar daggers have recently sold at auction. See for example one at Sotheby's, 14 April 2010, lot 229 and in these Rooms, 4 October 2012, lot 156. Those were both catalogued as Qajar Iranian. However enameled daggers of this type seem to have been produced across the Near East. Two seemingly related daggers in the Nasser D. Khalili Collection are catalogued as Ottoman, 19th century (David Alexander, The Arts of War, London, 1992, nos.87-88, pp.146-47). This attribution is made on the basis of their similarity to an example in the Metropolitan Museum which is signed by a master who either worked in or came from Damascus (inv.no.32.75.263, James, op.cit., p.146).
