Persian Shamshir

Apologies about the lower quality of the photos. I think the sword is a later marriage. How old? not sure. Blade has the common design of North Indian/Afghan blades but I guess these were based on an earlier Persian design?

Thank you for the close ups of the hilt. I will have a closer look at them. I have however lightened the disc a bit.
