Expect the pommel missing, it's a very complete and original Syrian sword.
I've never seen British blade on this kind of sword,maybe Jim can show us some models or more information to support his proposal.

Thanks Kubur! Any chance you can translate the Arabic at the scabbard throat? I think there is another quote at the chape, but it does not show up very well in the photos. Thanks again. I appreciate your help!
