Thanks. The wire is probably the safest thing to do. Simple and it will keep the guard at his place. Nice.

Kubur, why not post a pic of your blade so we can compare them.
Congoblades, the original treatment, and also the most conscientious form of restoration, would be to fill the aperture between the guard and blade with a water-soluble paste or putty.

South Caucasian Qaddara, they migrated to Iran to be used in the Ashura ceremony.

I have seen this particular type being described as a Persian infantry sword, seems to nice for Ashura.

I agree with Escrtch...
Too nice and too heavy also
or you do ashura one time only...
I'm fine with Persian infantry sword like the French briquet
May be the blades were produced in South Caucasus, I have no idea about that...

Plus the coins on the rivets of the grip are Qajar
The scabbard is Qajar...what else...
We need an expert for the stamps on the blade...

Have also this one, similar fullers as the sword. Will probably be of the same region. The decoration on the tip of the sheath is a bit strange.

Looks more like german or austrian??
