The pics are very fuzzy.
The markings are yellow; are they inlaid in gold or did you just painted them to enhance contrast? Are the swords really old? No insult meant, but there are far too many fakes these days... The upper one looks Kkhevsuri, the lower one looks Georgian. Am I right? |

One can find real Khevsuri swords from time to time ( most are fakes, of course!), but a real Georgian one is a rarity.
Do you happen to have Georgian palash, or a "skirted" one , or (dare I imagine!) saber ? The Eliarov's and Puruntsuzov's sabers leave Assadollah's creations in the dust..... Perhaps, the most beautiful, functional and elegant sabers ever created. I missed one couple of years ago and still wake up sobbing from time to time  Can you post other Caucasian weapons you have? By the way, have you done Parikaoba? Is it still practiced ( not for real, but as a martial art)? Best wishes! |
