A beautiful fine piece indeed. drool...drool...drool.
The works on the blade is in arabic 'khat' design.

Does no one know more about this piece? I had thought maybe Moghul or Turkish, but information on another thread is saying maybe Persian because of the snake? Is C 19 correct? Mine is brazed together (blade, socket, socket-rim), and the blade appears to be lineal laminate, though due to its tenuous pictorial etching, I dare not etch it to find out.
