Arabic blade with makers mark? Help needed
Who can tell me what this blade is?
A recent amateur handle was added so I did not include it in the photo (it only distracts from the blade) One side has a double groove the other a single. Strong curve and what I think is a makers mark? Seems arabic to me? Any ideas on what kind of blade it is, age etc? Many thanks for your help and input in advance, Erik. |

Hello Erik,
Does the blade base have a ricasso? A sharper close-up of the marks would be great! I believe I've seen pseudo-Arabic marks with blades from eastern Europe, too... Regards, Kai |

No ricasso that belongs either. Here a close up of the markings. It came in a small groups of weapons with also two Tulwar but also Western military sabres...
