I was familiar with the existence of dated garabs because of previous posts in this form, so when this pair was offered, I did not hesitate.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Nacho!
I wish mine had a date.

Do you think ours were made by the same smith. The design, particularly the scabbards, are just so close to looking exactly alike.
