An Indian fighting dagger used by Mir Sayyad during the American Revolutionary War.

Mir lost his lands to the Kingdom of Great Britain while travelling, and joined the French. He looked "quite barbarian" according to a British soldier. He advised Phillipe de Rullecort, the French commander at the Battle of Jersey, to ransack the city and massacre the townspeople. However, the invasion was a complete failure.
