thank you a lot

To further add to what David said, I'd be curious what you believe your sword to be?

It is always difficult to convince someone who has a piece in hand if their own opinion is already fixed.

I agree with what the other posters in this thread have said that there is not an Arab description.

This is not, in my opinion, an object of antiquity and could well be a Chinese product as suggested by other posters.

The other possibility is that this is a European reproduction, however would not likely make it particularly old either, at the oldest perhaps a late 19th century decorative item.
