Hallo all, i have just seen the photos i attach in the great new book of Manoucher "arms and armor from Iran".
In the photos are swords that exist on Iranian museums and belong to the Zand era, (arround 1750, before the Quajar).
The similarities are obvious, and allthough there is no exactly the same swords, its elements exist in the swords of the photos.
Therefore it is for sure Persian, made during the Zand era.
