Thumbs up

Let's see now ....

The hilt is from Rhino horn .
The blade is crucible steel also known as wootz or johar .
The steel has been manipulated into a pattern known as 'Mohammed's Ladder' .
The scabbard looks complete from what I can see and has most likely silver fittings along with the guard .
An extremely nice and rare example of the form; quite valuable, but we don't discuss price publicly here .

Simply beautiful !

Thanks for sharing .
