Hi Paolo,

Nice shamshir, Persian I would say, although I don't know much about Persian swords, but there are others on the forum who can help.

It is always a risk to remove the patina. If you don't find wootz, would you be sorry, or would you be as glad for the shamshir anyway?

Nice pictures

, and dont believe what Ariel writes - although I know he tries to be helpful
