			Here is a Persian shamshir with a rather long gold inscription.  The handle is of the Syrian type with either gold or brass twisted wire and gold? rivets.  32 inch blade of the Kara-Taban (patches of black) type wootz, said to be one of the most esteemed type of wootz.  Unfortunatly no scabbard.  Any translation would be greatly appreciated............Dave.
