shamshir arrived:

no ricasso as noted. he grip is actually copper with a silver coating worn in spots exposing the copper. 30 in. blade, 1 in. at the languet. blade is very sharp down to the languet. some rust spots and what appear to be forging marks. no stamps. the grip is fairly uncomfortable. the yali bites your finger when you move if the finger is in the grip. 650 grams weight. the wood scabbard is covered in a thin leather with decorative lines and hatching areas.
