Thank you. No, the picture orientation makes it look like a sossun pattah but that is actually the spine side. You can see on the opposite side, at the forte, a slight Indian ricasso. The blade is...

Indian sword stamp seeking translation assistance

The sword stamp on this Indian sword seems nice and clear and appears to be Arabic script. Would love any translation assistance that might be provided to learn more about this sword.

Hey Jim,

I'm thinking along the same lines as you are. My guess is that the blade is 16th or 17th century European. From what I can see from some of the plate separation is that the blade looks...

Unusual North African sword possible Takouba variant
