PERSIAN SHAMSHIR, 18th-EARLY 19th CENTURY

33 ¾” curved wedge section blade of crystal damask watered steel, with frosty gray patina. The edge sharpened full length. Iron guard with reverse langets, iron tang band and pommel. White bone scale grips with the brown capillaries which distinguish it from ivory evident. Silver wire wrap to the grip bottom. Good heavy example which would benefit from polishing and etching the blade.
