				 Comments about a shamshir 
 
			
			Hi all,I have many questions about this shamshir :
 1. The translation of the writings in the cartouche
 2. The meaning of the figures on the hilt
 2. Its age
 3. The blade is completly covered by a dark patina. Probably under there is a  good wootz. How might I remove only the patina without ruin the damascus ?
 Regards
 Paolo
