Wootz Shamshir for Comments

Hi,

Lovely piece, its always nice when you have the original wootz pattern under the muck, it means you don't have to get your hands dirty!

Don't worry, your photos aren't too bad, you did well to show the pattern. Next time try using natural light (outside). Either in slightly overcast conditions, or if it is bright and sunny (I'm guessing it will be where you are!) then in a slightly shaded area.

Good luck,
Runjeet

Beautiful piece, really glad you got one at last! What kind of age would this blade have?

Hey guys

Thanks alot, I have no idea how old the blade is but I think the hilt slabs are newer especially the black side. Makes me wonder if I should train my hand into making stuff maybe I'll end up restoring blades :P

I used my digital camera but somehow I cant get it to focus sometimes.. it wasnt always like that so maybe its about time to buy a professional camera to photograph swords with!
