Wootz Shamshir For Discussion
So I got this shamshir from down under (thanks Gav, excellent packaging!) I am very happy with it especially after having a closer look on the inscription (looks better then photos) and found out its Assadullah alAsfahani and the top inscription says "Bandeh Welayat Shah Abbas"
The blade is obviously Persian with a nice wootz pattern. But what about the hilt? its worn out but very comfortable. One side of the hilt has a worn-out cartouche I cannot read it so far :-(
Using Gav's photos they are way better then mine.
