On the Persian Shamshir and the Assad Allah Signature
 

Happy to announce that my article, On the Persian Shamshir and the Signature of Assad Allah, has finally been digitized and is available at the following link:

http://auctionsimperial.com/om-the-p...f-assad-allah/

It was originally written for my graduate program at UCLA in 2001, published in the Journal of Arms Collecting in 2002, and presented at the 2003 Ethnic Sword Forum meeting in Baltimore. The text has been revised where necessary. The original photos were in color, but were converted to halftone for the journal. They have been uploaded here in color with a few minor exceptions. I will upload additional photos as time permits.

To those who requested it, thanks again for your patience.

Hi Oliver,
Have just had my first read of your article and found it really interesting and informative, it is one that I will use as a reference in the future.
Congratulations
Miguel
