The steel is wootz, the carving is presumably camel bone. All comments welcome.

Good morning Marcus,
I like the blade/bolster, but the hilt looks "new" to me and a bit crude.. No expert but that is my opinion. :-) All best wishes, Richard. |

I have to agree here. There has been a sloppy attempt to artificially age the hilt, probably with furniture or shoe polish. The blade, I agree, is likely a good old one, with a slight chance it is one of the new wootz blades coming out of India now. |
