Just picked this up at a local Auction House. The hilt style says "Syrian" but I have not seen a straight blade on these before. Also quality is MUCH better with a very nice silver Niello scabbard, and prolific Mother of Pearl inlays on the hilt.
Can anyone tell me please: 1.Where it comes from. 2.The translation of the Arabic on the small hilt cartouche, and on the blade. Dimensions are 12 1/2" in scabbard. 6 1/4" blade |
