Qama
 

Hello, this kind of piece is new for me but, well, i like it :) Could you give me informations about this kind of sword? Ideas on the age? and the mark on the blade? and the silver (?) koftagiri? Thank you very much.

I would say Azerbaijan, Persian or not, something to south east from Tbilisi for certain.
Timeframe - I would need better picture of the koftgari.

Hello Rivkin, thank you very much. Here are some other pictures that i hope are better and clearer, but the koftagiri isn't so good :o Please, could you also explain me, if it's possible, the difference between the qama and the kindjal? Thank you very much :)

Hm, I would say late XIXth century, but can't be sure.
Kindjal is a russian word, supposedly from arabic khanjar; qama is supposedly a farsi word, however turkish or even alanic origin is also possible. First is used since russian is a lingua franca in caucases. Second is used since such word (qama) exists in most caucasian languages; it is also used in Iran. They both describe the same object.

Thank you very much Rivkin, if i'm not too boring :rolleyes: , can i ask you what the koftagiri represent? Thank you again :)

Could, please, someone enlight me on the meaning of the koftagiri? Thank you very much and sorry for my ignorance :o

"Tree of Life" was a popular islamic symbol. Is it what we see here?

Thank you Ariel, in the inner part we see a writing or only a decoration (i mean like tuluth)?
