Good Day Gentlemen
Due to my stupidity, (question put about an object being the subject of an auction) my banissement was decided by the moderators, for a long very long period of approximately one year, tks God … and moderators, it’s over. ![]() During this period, I wasn’t able to share with you my visit in Damascus - Syria and of my discovery of an extraordinary person, no AN ARTIST "Rimon", specialist in the restoration in the Islamic swords. ![]() Alex, who is a regular contributor here, had given of it me his address, I highly thank it. ![]() Rimon showed me its « wonder », here some pictures about those swords ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (clic on pic's to enlarge) next post for some others one à + Dom |

![]() By the way, the initial suspension for posting an active auction link is only 10 days. I think you ran into problems when you re-registered under other user names prior to the suspension expiration. Best, Andrew |

![]() I will not argument too long about the sanction, ... the law it's the law, even if it's hard ![]() but, if I tried to re-registered under other user names, it's because, nobody give me notice of my banishment ![]() as I wasn't informed, just I believed been facing a "bug" problem, no more ![]() and, it's after at least, that I received a P.M. from a moderator with explanations ![]() Regards à + Dom |

Excuse me. please, but what exactly do you mean by "restorer"?
Do the elaborate and fresh cartouches on the kilij also come from his workshop? |

First and foremost - Welcome back Dom, and many thanks for the nice pictures, mentioning about my friend Rimon, and for your nice words.
Rimon is a real gentleman and a talented artist. It is sad that the person of such a rare caliber can not fully utilize his "commercial potential" being located in Syria ![]() Ariel, the "restoration" Rimon does entitles all aspects of reviving/repairing swords/daggers using as authentic and natural means as possible. He certainly can make coftgari stamps/inscriptions (upon request), but mostly he polishes/etches abused wootz blades, makes silver-chased scabbards and crossguards, etc. Most of my previous posts depict his work, and it puzzles most experts by looking 100% authentic. However, Rimon NEVER lies about his products and always authenticates what's old and what's not. A very rare quality among Middle Eastern artists/dealers! I can post Rimon's email, address in Damascus and telephone numbers, if anyone would like to get in touch with him. |
