Help needed identifying shamshir wootz blade

Isfahan was the capital of Persia. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the inscription "Isfahan" was put on the blades.

If we continue the analogy ... "Isfahan" could be the second part of the brand. How is that "Rolex" - the Swiss watch quality. It is unlikely that someone will buy watches "Rolex", if they are to be written, "Chinese quality"

mahratt - why not 'Omega or some other Swiss watch names'?

I find Ariels question quite resonable.

Jens, and what more iconic "brands" for the sword in the Islamic world than "The Lion of Allah", you can name?

In Spain, there were other "brands", except "Toledo", but if we talk about Spanish blades, it is the "Toledo" remember in the first place.
