stunning antique persian islamic nagini sword shamshir

[kronckew]

the scabbards sometimes had the swelled end on it (wranka or sampir on a keris), sometimes not. both types in the photo on the research site.



the gangya on the blade looks like it was forged along with the blade which i undestand is usually mid 20th c. rather than 19th. still a pretty item. steve f. may have more info.....
