Hi to all members,
Would you help me to learn more about my recent acquisition which I have found on this monday in Belgium. There is no mark or stamp on the blade but with the flash of the camera, we can observe à very thight wootz The blade is very sharpened, it must have a long history to tell... Blade of 82 cm long / 3.2 cm wide at the ricasso and 2.8cm in center. Overall length of 93.5 cm Length with scabbard: 98,5 cm Thank you very much for your comments or opinions Fabrice |

Nice sword. It is Syrian, but using old Persian parts. A lovely example.

Hi Kubur, Hi A. Alnakkas and many thanks for your comments.
Is there possible to imagine a period for the blade and the mount. the hilt is in leather I think, it seems horn but it is not. The wootz seems to be "very special" like the "Ladder of the Prophet" what do you think about please. |

Good catch! Congratulations!
 I believe your wootz blade would greatly benefit from some etching.
