Great find! One of the fun things about indo-persian weaponry is the creativity of the designers. I think I became hooked on ethnographic weapons the first time I looked through a copy of 'Stones Glossary of Arms and Armor' and wondered, 'how the heck did they use THAT?
![]() The blade is in such nice overall shape I'd be afraid to touch it, and at the same time I'd like to see a clearer pattern in the wootz. Nice blade! |

Thank you both. I really love it. I'm hooked on indo-persian weaponry since I got this first piece. The variety is amazing. I'm on the fence when it comes to a light etch. When I bought it the owner cleaned one small spot to show the wootz. Then a little on the handle and he said the handle and even the "rivets" are. I had a hard time seeing the pattern on the blade at the time let alone the handle. Although in the daylight it's pretty obvious on the blade. Any thoughts on age?
