It's hard to say where this sword is actually from because it's a combination of parts. The blade is good Caucasian work, probably made in Tbilisi c. 1850. The guard is Persian, and considerably earlier; this type with recurved quillons is rare. The grips are more or less recent. It was probably assembled for use in the early 20th century.

Dear Oliver,
Are you sure that the blade is Caucasian? I have a Persian Qadara with the same stamps... The blade looks Persian for me. Regards Kubur |
