Hello,
I have this Shamshir with a Caucasian damascus blade. On the blade is a gold koftgari inscription, I would say in Arabic language. At one side it is unfortunately partially lost, but I tried to complete it with Paint. Of course it is possible that I made some mistakes or it is still not complete. A translation would be very nice. ![]() Also your comments regarding the origin or the age are welcome. The blade looks well used and the handle, which reminds me of Ottoman Kilij swords, was repaired not very professional. Dimensions: total 88.5cm; blade 76cm At first the side with inscription in good condition: |
