Hi Paulo,
nice Shamshir....another sword to add to the 'wanted list'

Is it me ...but the figure looks like a European in Renaissance period dress..

Yes, nice shamshir. Handle is definately Persian, Qajar Revival period. The blade however, appears much older, and may be 18th century.

Thank You all for the inputs.

Katana, also I noted on many Persian hilts (above all on ivory kanjars of Qajar period) that the figures are showed with dresses that seems these of the European Renaissance. I wondered at it.

Regards
Paolo
