Im not positive on the definition of Minasbad or how it is filed under Parang Nabur. Lorenz would be able to answer that question.

Yes. Now that it is in my hands and seeing the details first hand, I am very happy with this buy. See -->

Do you by any chance have an idea of the age of this sword as I have no idea at all of how to date them? Again my congratulations on this great addition to your collection.

Thanks again Robert for not bidding. haha I thought it went high enough already. hehe I'm not positive on the age of this one, but I am guessing early 1900s?
Maybe others will input.
Anyone know how I can remove that surface rust with out removing any patina?
