Yep, like Serdar and David said earlier, Persian blades had no fullers. The fullers where a characteristic of Central Asian and North Indian blades.
However, Persian blades were traded and could have fullers added later, in local Central Asian workshops. Regarding your blades, I believe the first one is late 19th century North Indian, because of the style of the damascening cartridges, and because of the fullers. Also the fact it is not wootz (apparently) and the configuration of the scabbard with European style chape appear to indicate later production. |
