Classic Persian Dahl buckler of late manufacture from Qajar era, might as well be from nowadays teritory of Pakistan, I wish Yani you would show us the back too (by the way great shots of the frobt details) ... I doubt was used for battle, at the most it belonged to some guardian retainer or house decoration ... Lets get a translation of the cartouches and see if the umboes are perfectly aligned with the hand grips, any padded velvet in the back left ? ...
