Lot 7193:
Unique 19th C. Lucknow Indian Assassin Enamel Silver Stick with Concealed Dagger, Gold Inlaid Wootz Damascus Blade. An exquisite and unique example of finest quality workmanship, having solid silver mounts profusely inlaid with wonderful enamel decorations. Mounted with a strong double edged thrusting blade of fine Wootz steel, both sides with intricate gold inlaid decorations and scriptures to ricasso. Interesting part is the locking mechanism, which has two positions so actually works as a Double lock, first the dagger can be turned and locked inside the scabbard and then the ring can be turned in different direction to create a secondary lock, so except for this dagger’s owner. Most likely no one else would be able to open it fast. Super beautiful and unique Mogul weapon, superbly crafted for an important individual of significant status and rank.
Total length (inside scabbard if present) : 22 1/2", Blade length : 15 1/2".
