here is a sword in my collection with a rather illusive maker. This is the only sword I saw with his name and no one seems to know him. Sword dates to 1936 and was in a rough condition but was restored by a professional.
There are a few oddities about this piece compared to other saifs, that includes thicker silver dress and the use of deer horn. The original was in a very rough shape, basically crumbles when held so the maker got a new horn and made it in exact dimensions. Everything was perfect except for a simple discolouration that I thought is acceptable since its natural. |

This is the last sword I have posted, showing close ups of the craftsmanship. One of the best I know of, the engraving on the silver is very high quality.
The silver seems bright, that because this sword was recently restored as it was in horrid condition, to say the least. |
