[Gonzoadler]

Hello,

I recently acquired this sumptuos and heavy Tulwar. The hilt is made of silver and decorated with a fine worked snake, which entwines it. The finely pierced fittings of the leather covered wooden scabbard are made of silver, too. Only the suspension rings are probably made of another, harder white metal. The blade seems of persian origin to me and is made of Wootz-steel. It has some inscriptions I can not read.

total length: 95 cm
length without scabbard: 90 cm
blade length: 74 cm
maximum blade width: 3.6 cm
total weight: 1.573 kg

I am interested in a translation of the blade inscriptions and your comments regarding the age of the parts of this swords, it's origin, the meaning of it's decoration and so on.

Kind regards
Robin
