I have several in my collection (see http://atkinson-swords.com/collectio...iya-syria.html What is the cross section shape of this blade? Is the shape the same front and back? Would you say it is more like an oval or like a flattened oval? The grip portion of the hilt, is it flat or rounded on the sides? There seem to have been two or maybe three artisans in Majdal Shams (مجدل شمس ) with distinct styles. I'm fascinated by these weapons. As far as I know, WWII was the end of their production. -- Dave A
