Thanks
Much Thanks Khan, I had a good idea it was Indian but was not sure, so with that question answered, would you consider this a form of Shamshir, or other, and the date would be late 19th early 20thc right ???.
Again much thanks for your help, I will have a few more interesting pieces to show when I get a bit more experience at using this forum. Snody |

Looking at this sword, I think the blade is different in shape from the shamshir. The blade, as it seems to me from the photographs, is wider at the handle. Shamshirs have a blade at the handle and in the middle of the same width. Tell me, please, do I think or do I see a ricasso in the photo? I would date this sword to the second half of the 19th century. Probably closer to the late 19th century. |
