Ian

That dent was more likely made by a parry from another weapon the chances that a bullet caused the damage is slim to none

You would have to shoot the back of the sword jjj-just right

Hello Hurthuma, may I get to see more of that gorgeous sword?

It looks real nice, I bet it has a european blade, and is likely fitted in Damascus.

How about those?

Its not clear on the second picture, but the blade has some sort of engarving. The dealer said it was Ottoman. It shows a cresent and a sun if I am not mistaken. The blade also has the "dimashqi" patterns on it.
Hope this helps, if you want anymore info or pictures taken, tell me

I had my eye on that one but shot my load on that kundrik sword last week. It's a very nice example. When you get it try using a bit of mineral oil on the horn so it does not get too dried out.

Welcome Hrthuma. Hope you enjoy your time here.

Ian.

Hrthuma ibn Marwan · 26th October 2006, 02:14 AM

Thanks Ian

And I will try to post a closer look to my blades. I might also get a new sword soon. And I think I might need some assistance identifying where and when it was used.

Thanks again

Just got this Tulwar last week and The Indo Persian Axe? yesterday, Ill post better pics of the axe once I get it.

Hrthuma ibn Marwan · 26th October 2006, 02:48 AM

That Tulwar is pretty decent.
I have seen a tulwar in a shop(near where I live) but it looked very blunt and rusty. Yours look pretty cheerfull

CollectingNewbie · 26th October 2006, 03:00 AM

Thanks, its my first Tulwar and I think it was a great buy, just grabed it off ebay for $102.00. I dont know much about Tulwars but it was posted as an 18th century blade, its in excelent shape, and you can still very faintly see some of the artwork on the handle.

18th century Tulwar for $102? and a Tulwar in good shape? I dont know about the rest, but I think you are a lucky man

Congrats
