A masterpiece Jens. I would love to see the whole talwar.

yes, please! Don't tease us so! That's the base of the yelman? Note the fine filing marks, which seem cross-hatched at the koftgari, but unidirectional out across the blade?

The whole sword

Outstanding! Jens, can you tell us anything about this? Have you any provenance?

Is that koftgari Arabic or Farsi?
