Thanks for your confirmation and reply.
This blade is so heavy, forward leaning and sharp it would likely do a lot of damage in the Ashura self inflicted wounds, I bet. It’s of the weight that could easily behead a goat or a person easily if swung in a chopping motion. The fittings look correct for the period. I wonder if the fabric is a new replacement on the scabbard. Have you ever seen such a double sided Quaddara before? It’s like a bebut on steroids. Quote:

mounts are Syrian, probably mid 20th century. Blade is older but they also made local copies that are thinner but not necessarily poor quality.

Thanks. Do you think the blade is Syrian also?
I’ve also seen a very similar blade described as from Dagestan, but had the typical wood/horn hilt style. |
