I use picresize.com to resize pictures. It’s free and easy to use.

Nice swords. I think palas are quite different blades compared to your Kilic Acemi. Persian shamsirs typically have slender and extremely curved blades whereas palas have wide and almost angled blades. The resemblance comes mostly from the hilts. I would love to learn about different blade manufacturing centres in the Ottoman Empire and Persia (like Solingen, Toledo, Passau and Brescia in Europe).
