Summary

Description
English: Indian bichwa dagger, 19th century, recurved steel blade with thickened tip for extra strength. The looped brass hilt to be fitted around the hand, the front with a widened decorated handguard, and a small bud finial to the top, original hide covered sheath mouned with a pierced brass chape. By reputation these daggers were used by thieves and brigands, although as an established weapon of the Indian armoury they likely saw much more widespread usage.
