Baluchistan/Omani shamshir
I haven't posted anything new in a while.
So, gentlemen ( and ladies, if Tatiana drops by), here is my new baby. We have discussed them briefly in the past, and our discussions had a range of contributions from an amusing assertion that Baluch and Baloch were different people to Erik's wonderful picture that nailed down the attribution of these shamshirs to Sindh/ Baluchistan. In brief: complete with intact scabbard and baldric, Persian wootz blade signed by Muhammad Yusuf Misri (" the Egyptian") as per seller, silver, turquoise, chasing ... in short, the works. I am very happy: was looking for one of those for a long time and finally got one of a very high quality. Isn't she pretty? Just adorable:-) |
