Default What is this sword?
Looks to be Middle Eastern/African in origin, and shows good age. The hilt is horn or bone with a nicely tooled cuff stitched on. The scabbard is solid leather, and tidily hand stitched. Pommel cap and quillon/guard are brass and nicely decorated. The blade is of quality steel and sharp, as is the yelman.
Any ideas as to origin?
