sorry just noticed a typo, it is supposed to say [Shed more blood] not she more blood.
From what I can see of the seal on the scabbard, yeah. get me a better pic of the seal please.
You have to remember Kabul was the capital and all the good smiths were there, there was a whole quarter call kocha e aahangaraan (the street of smiths) majority of fine blades you see out there on the internet for sale with the afghan style, most likely would have come from there. Even some being called Bukharan. From what I have been able to gather wootz technology was not lost to these smiths until more recently, I am thinking sometime between 60 to 80 years ago or even maybe less, sometime pre or during 1930s.
