or even, to complete from a part of a weapon or armor

e.i.
- the sterling silver handle is 40 years old from KSA
- the blade is over than 100 years - Pouluar Afgan XIXth century, from a french scraping store
- the scabbard is less than 3 years from Damascus Syria done by a real swordsmith
so, it's not an antiquity, but .... not a new copy

anyway, it's one of my favorite item, with my kulah-khud
