Hello Chaps, First time on here
Just purchased these 2 Arabic? swords. Not an area im really across but they were sooo pretty had to buy, saw them 8 months ago in a collection and kicking myself for not grabbing then as they had some new storage rust which has damaged the wootz surface. If anyone is able to help me with these? region, dating, script (bone material ??) Id greatly appreciate!
Many thanks in advance for your expertise and happy to post other photos if required ( tried to cover as best i could on a rainy Perth day)
cheers
Phil
