Hi, Any info or comments on this one? I was afraid that it might have been a recent manufacture but it appears to be older. Shagreen leather scabbard is surely old. I'm guessing that script is incorporated into the shields. Can anyone make out what they say?
Thank you,
Steve

Oh, How common are laddered wootz blades? I know from recent posts that zigzag and x patterns are very rare.
