SWORDS!! Of course they're swords! THEY'RE STRAIGHT - as a stick ;).
I'll try to make edit in my last post to not mislead others!! (stupid me) :o They called it Arabic, and even translated it, so I don't know what's wrong. Maybe the translation was made by second person, and author wrongly called this script as Arabic? |
yes, michal, you dont fail to impress!
absolutely wonderful, especially the second sword. i spent the day in a friends library, which is pretty much complete in all aspects of arms (where mine tends to concentrate on a very small section). i found some interesting things, including a full article written on these sword blades by a respected academic, and hints of another which i ran out of time before i located it. cant tell more as i was on something else at the time, but will have the articles sent to me soon. sorry, in my rush i didnt even take details as i knew i would have them at my leisure soon. again, thank you michal for sharing your access to such fabulous pieces. |
The inscription on the blade on the last picture says in persian : Ey tigh keh az to khasm e din kam bada
Roughly it means You/oh, sword/blade who fade the enemies of the religion |
