 2 verses issued from the Holy Quran - Sura 110 "Al Nasr" (Help) - verses 2 & 3 (2)وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا 2. And you see people entering Allah's religion in multitudes, (3) فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا 3. Then celebrate the praise of your Lord and seek His forgiveness, (for) surely He is Oft-returning (to mercy). the look is very Ottoman Turkish at my point of view, beautifull, ... one of my dreams à + Dom |

Really odd they did the inscription along the cutting edge. Kind of counterintuitive

What Ariel showed looks like mechanical damascus. Here is another "ok" Turkish Pala. This one has a heavy wootz blade.
