Shamshir metal parts in suit

Dom · 27th March 2012, 12:32 PM

Good day every body
yesterday I bought from Paris auction's house (Hotel Drouot) a complete set, of a "shamshir" metal parts ... in suit:
- pommel
- crossed-guard
- rings bands x2
- chape

according with the decor, I guess it's Qadjar (Persia) late 18th or early 19th C.

without damaging the "patina", I cleaned up a little bite, and here we are

now, I will see if;
- I keep it, in case of I found a beautiful "Johar" blade
otherwise
- may be I will sale it

the Shamshir with me in need of refurbishing, even if it's good,
hasn't the "class" to be embellished with such mount

Nice one Dom, I just saw them on the email too ;-) mabrook ya shaikhna.

I think these are for Khevsur swords that look like shamshirs.

Here is one:
