Hi at all , thank you for all the comment ... I show it to an expert here , his comment was that sword is 19th century hilt and guard and very well made ( pics dont made justice ...not new 19th century of sure , olso wood and leather heandle is not modern) .. the blade is damascus steel and probably 18th century ..so a composite sword probably in the spanish moorish 15th century style ... its is his opinion ..

Would it be possible to see a close up picture or two of the Damascus blade? This should at least tell us something about the blade And the type of steel.

Salaams All, Not being expert in Chinese weapons ... It does however strike me that the blade profile which by the way I can see no evidence of Damascening wootz or any such pattern... is like/similar to modern Chinese martial arts Tai Chi sword blades. It also looks faintly theatrical... I may be wrong ... The Pommel looks like it has Chinese(shapes) around the inner circle and the pommel ring looks missing from the top... where a tassel would normally be tied. The small rings top and base of the hilt look Chinese in style.
It inspires me to look more closely at the broader subject of Chinese Swords. Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
