Clever man!
and you got it for a very good price!  I think it's a kind of Hungarian palash clearly with an Ottoman influence as you said. Congrats Kubur |

It's not Hungarian. Appears from the images to be Caucasian; please post closeups of the niello work on each mount and an example of the silver marks and we'll be able to nail it down

Oliver may have a point: grips widening toward the crossguard indeed look Caucasian. Niello was done in Turkey, Iran, Greece....
He is correct, however: the markings (if any) may be hugely informative. Let's wait for the customs:-) Last edited by ariel; 8th May 2017 at 02:15 PM. |
