Hi BD,

Are you researching one of your own?
Have a look at these Iron swords:
http://www.worldmuseumofman.org/display.php?item=580-577-579-583-582-581-576-578

Many of these pieces are associated with Luristan so if you google 'luristan iron sword' or 'luristan bronze sword' you'll find something.

Swords with bronze hilts and cast iron blades are rarer, here (http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4265204) is one sold by christies:

Here's a dagger of similar construction:

Hi BD,

Most of the examples that I've seen on various sites while trying to research mine (with hilt elements that curl down onto the blade) are 'all bronze'.
The Iron and bronze types are all much less common.
You might not find something 'exactly' the same.

Have a look at this one:

And attached a picture of a bronze one sold by Christies:

Just a thought.
Many of the iron swords have not survived.
You might be best to search for just the hilt.

P.S. another group of iron with bronze hilts sold by christies (http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5310934)
