It is a long story. In brief:

This shield comes from Tbilisi in 1995 (here there is love, no details ). Then for 9 years I was looking desperate for a khevsur sword. It was impossible. Suddenly I found a source in Athens (fate ) . Me and a friend of mine we bought 8 (!) swords. Half of them were fakes
We lost lot money and pride. But we got some valuable lessons and we still have 2 very good swords.

At least you got two swords (one each?)
Sometimes the nicest things to own are the most trouble to get.

How about a big picture of the shield?
