Hello Sajen,
I have removed the first mount and the inner scabbard is made of wood
Idem, in the hilt, under the velvet there is a wooden piece.
The small stones and pearls are well setted/made
Idem, I find the gold and silver damascenining quality made and show some age,
Just the pommel and the tip of the scabbard had been cleaned too much.
.
I have sanded and polished the blade, it was covered with some kind of wax to avoid rust so it looked too recent shiny and fake.
So it is a real damas blade don't know about the age but it is a real weapon ...
Fernando, can't we.put it.again in the european weapons forum ??
I saw 19th damas blade on french and german hunting daggers
