This quaddara has a 25 inch blade. The leather of the scabbard is new, but the silver collar at the scabbard throat appears original. There is a stylized lion and sunburst, consistent with the attribution to Persia.

My questions are:
Is the script under the lion Arabic or Persian?
What does it say?
Can anyone identify the maker’s marks on the blade?
Can anyone guess the age by the coins (or other features)?
