Colleagues,
This beautiful indo-persian saber was recently sol. There sems to be a marked difference of opinion on the technique: is it a true mechanical damascus or just a superficial damascening ( etching?) I am putting a bunch of close-up pics for you to express your opinion. The input from professional bladesmiths is especially welcoe. Thanks. |

Clearly acid etch - imitation pattern applied on the surface.

Yep. I agree. However "damascening" means basically something like koftgari, but a little thicker, and usually in script.

Hello Ibrahiim,
It seems to me, that the text you have sent, is not written by you, but by Ann Feuerbach, and if this is correct why do you not give her credit for it? One thing is to qwote a short text, and give the author credit for it, I think it is quite something else, to quote a whole article, screen page after screen page, and not even write who the author is. It is beyound me, and I am sure it is not in the spirit of the forum. Jens |
