Up for viewing is a kilij with a wootz blade and what looks to me to be an
Indian style handle. The handle is also wootz. Another possibility, could the
handle be Persian?. The blade is 27 inches in a straight line, 31 inches
overall. The scabbard is pretty well ratted out and is missing the wood at
the tip. Ideas as to age?...........Dave.
