Thank you Alex and Ariel. That was very informative!

Here are some pics of others I have in my collection--I would value your opinion.

The first 2 pictures: I was told is Armenian as well but Inscriptions are based on a language script and not actual words. It is bigger than the other at 34 inches--a true sword.

3rd and 4th picture: is a more Persian style but this one looks like real patterened steel in the fuller---some sort of sandwich construction??


The 5th and 6th picture: I was told also Armenian--decoration is very gold colored and much finer--also looks like a date ??16 in the Georgian calender.

The 7th picture: is unknown---large and wide and razor sharp--false damascus etch in fullers.



Last pic is of all pieces including some poorer ones for size perspection--bottom piece with broken handle is 17 inches.

I thank you for your help!
Matt
