Which sold swords were you referring to? That had to be a VERY long time ago!

Also, what is making the other script difficult to read?

Thanks again!

you are welcome. The script is arabic but I suspect the one that I could not translate to be Persian. its the 3rd picture.

As for the saif, its this one.

Hi Charles.
Not in my area of collecting, but I just have to mention what a fantastic looking Persian sword and scabbard. Outstanding!! Congratulations. What a great addition to a collection.

Your Qaddara is a kill, gorgeous!
It's hard the believe that they were for infantry men.
Yours should be for a colonel at least! If not a general!
Do you have the small pocket at the back for the companion knife?
Best,
Kubur
