Yes, this is the publication mentioned.
A.Alnakkas and Kubur are absolutely right. This sword was made in Syria in the
late 20th, not early 20th century!. it is recent reproduction, not antique. the
coftgari silver overlay technique has not changed since old times, and is being made right now using the same methods.
