Not about the antique swords, but the tradition. HERE is the article about current production in Syria, you may see some examples, coftgari and filigree work, some swords/blades are from India with local additions, please note the Persian trade blades, and Golan Druze (Majdal Shams) and Arab jambiyas.

Also (unrelated), notice the link on the same page about unearthed Chinese sword, and included video on making a mechanical damascus sword , etc.
