Middle eastern sword
I acquired this sword in Oman. I don't know how it got there. I believe it is of Georgian heritage. The Arabic date (1287), stamped in the hilt converts into 1870. I am curious if the two asterisk’s have any meaning. I could find no other marks. It is 32" overall length, with a 8"grip and a 21" blade. Both sides are decorated in nielloed silver. I'm curious of what the group thinks of its origin. This is my first post I hope I have done it correctly. With Regards, rm
