Maghrebi (?) Saif for Comment
This sword was found in Northern Bulgaria, but it certainly does not look Balkan or Eastern European. To me it looks like an early Maghrebi saif, based on the hilt. Interestingly, it is made og two cow horn scales and not from a single piece of horn. The blade is marked with a Gurda - could it be Italian?
It belongs to a friend of mine and we both appreciate all your comments. Thank you, Teodor |
