Thank you all for your insights and information. Alex your calligraphy flows and the difference is evident. Also the gold work on example look like inlays vs. Koftgari. Would you say the differences are do to eras or regional workmanship?
The photo showing cartouches was the second I've seen.
When I first saw this one I thought it very recent. Fervent searching Artzis' site,
help Me make up my mind to bid along with the sellers comment that the blade was damascus. Really glad I did now.
Thanks,
Steve
