Guys, Hello, how are you? Hope everyone is well.
Could really use and will really apreciate some help on the translation of the inscription and the marks of this shamshir. Very intriguing, I've seen "the lion" many times, in different poses, sizes, and the way mark is rendered, but never seen it with a possbile inlaid inscription inside. Thank you in advance guys. Alex |

Aleksey,
That is a beautiful sword with absolutely georgeous wootz! Thanks for sharing. I recall another example that had the lion cartouche with inscription on the lion. As I recall, that inscription was "Assad Allah" and this marking looks similar but I wouldn't bank on it just yet. |

Alex, this is absolutely wonderful sword and looks fantastic. I saw it before, in uncleaned condition, and now it is simply flawless. Congratulations on owning it!!! Last edited by ALEX; 6th December 2010 at 07:42 PM. |
