Arabic what's it, help
Picked this up today at a local antique shop for $20. I figure
it is a tourist piece but I wouldn't do that work for $20 :-)
I know nothing, repeat - nothing, about arabic weapons.
Any info would be appreciated. What is it? When is it?
Is it a tourist item. It does have an edge, looks like done
with rough stone and a few nicks. Nice silver inlay.
Looks like there are arabic writings on the scabbard.
If so can anyone translate or are they just decoration.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Rich
