here is a sword in my collection with a rather illusive maker. This is the only sword I saw with his name and no one seems to know him. Sword dates to 1936 and was in a rough condition but was restored by a professional.

There are a few oddities about this piece compared to other saifs, that includes thicker silver dress and the use of deer horn. The original was in a very rough shape, basically crumbles when held so the maker got a new horn and made it in exact dimensions. Everything was perfect except for a simple discolouration that I thought is acceptable since its natural.
