Baluchistan/Omani shamshir

Happy New Year Ariel, and congratulations on this excellent acquisition. This is as nice as it can get and I actually liked it more than some other shamshirs that sold for more at the auction, so I think you did really well. I cannot recall others with the original baldric nicely preserved like this.

Wow!

That is a very nice sword. A sword that complete is a rare find.
Congratulations!

Great Shamshir.
That is a rich present to yourself, ariel.

No, not to myself.
It was found in the morning of January 1, on the floor near the fireplace.
I am still not sure how it got there
:-)

AMA ZING sword Ariel, TOP quality, I'm even surprised that there is no Balutch attached to it...

Here it's what you get if you have a fireplace...

Thanks.

Actually, there was a Baluch holding on to his family treasure, but he was an undocumented alien and I could not employ him as a sword stand. The sword went to the wall, and the disappointed Baluch climbed up the chimney and went home.
