Thanks!

Salaams LostDutchman ~ For a long set of details on various similar swords just type into search Tulvar. I see nothing wrong with this one...The Koftgari gold bladework is a bit worn perhaps and the blade is corroded but a little clean up would reveal a fair result... be very careful on cleaning the blade near the Koftgari or it will come off. As a coin dealer you will be aware of what materials to use in cleaning up the sword... lets see what it looks like after that...ya ! Welcome to the Forum !!
