It seems that Shamshirs are like buses ....wait for one ....and then three arrive at the same time  
 
    Shamshir, no scabbard. Hilt slabs are made from a resin type substance....has anyone seen anything like it....and know what it is.
 Gold inlaid cartouche with a lot of losses. Arabic script on the opposite side. Forged with some small 'cold shuts'.
  Comments and a translation would, again be, much appreciated, thank you
Kind Regards David
