Shamshir ,But From Where?
3 Attachment(s)
I went to a local Gun Show this weekend(actually a glorified fee market with purses, ammunition ,beef jerky,etc.,), and halfway through it, as I was wondering why I wasted $14.00 and my time, I spotted this simple,but honest shamshir(at least that is what I think it is).
The blade measures 31" and the handle appears to be pinned;does anyone know where this sword comes from? |
While I understand that this may not as specific of an attribution as you may be looking for, it is definitely an Ottoman shamshir.
|
Thank you TVV;I thought that might be one of the possibilities.
|
That would have been my guess... Does it have the typical stitching on the back of the scabbard?
|
Yes, in the middle of the scabbard on one side.

Ottoman, shamshir, parabolic blade.
|
That is a very nice one that you have!
|
Thank you Drac! I got it about almost 50 years ago, fascinated by the deeo curve and slotted scabbard to allow it to withdraw.
