Little help on this Knife Please
I just picked up this piece in Morocco. I was told that it is 19th century and is from Iran. The writing goes along this line (God besiege your protection and we ask you fend against bad intentions the protector the forgiver you almighty) it is from the koran if anyone can give me a better translation would be thankful. there are seven variations in the blade think they represent the steps to heaven but again not sure. What are your thoughts and opinions on this blade. And thanks in advance for all the help given on this thread.

The blade shows a chevron pattern. Could be Indian and not Iranian? You really should try and resize (make them smaller) your pics before posting them so they can be viewed more easily.

Welded or etched ?
 On picture size; the optimal size is 1024X768 . That will eliminate having to scroll .

Seems etched to me there are irregular lines on the areas where the welds would be. Lew |
