Thanks Corrado. Noted on the screws. It might have been unusual to produce a heavy fighting blade in this mamluke style at that late date.

As this may be a post-Egypt campaign European mamluke, maybe this thread should go to the European weapons section?

Thank you Ian. British India maybe? Local production, European retailer...Just some thoughts.
The breakthrough will be if anyone recognises the stamp. I have yet to clean the blade a little, but, I suspect wootz or similar. |

Hi
If the blade is European made is it likely to be wootz The handle does look like rhino horn but better pictures required Nice interesting sword Regards Ken |
