There may be some markings or decorations under the rust. Hopefully, they will survive cleaning.

It arrived a day or so ago.
Blade is 51 cm. LOA is 62 cm. Weight is 715gm. feels heavy. Flat spine, no false edge/yelman. No fullers. No apparent engraving yet. One stamp that is a bit indistinct. small ear yat grip, black horn (i.e. karakulak) rivets/ bolster/tonku/ring are brass or bronze. Brushed off loose red stuff and verdigris. stamp area appears to have a very turkish looking stamp, but can't tell yet. VBit more cleaning then oiling to do. Pics: |
