A Likely Byzantine or Fatimid Sword of the Xth – XIth Centuries

[Iain]

Lee was kind enough to allow me to do a write up on this intriguing sword.

For those interested in this rather rare form, I've put it up on my personal site at: http://iainnorman.com/essays/2019/01...ith-centuries/. A physical description of this example and some supporting extant examples within the same family of hilts.
