    :
    The curved sword or scimitar was widespread throughout the Middle East
    from at least the Ottoman period,
    with early examples dating to the
    9th century.
    Mongols, Rajputs and Sikhs
    used scimitars in warfare, among many other peoples.
    Numerous Islamic traditions adopted scimitars, as attested by their symbolic occurrence in art and the Coat of Arms of Saudi Arabia, where it was also used by executioners for beheading.
    Comments
    : This one a beauty and compares favorably with the Hanwei Paul Chen version that sells for 4 times more. Well done with solid construction.
    Some
    minor
    flaws in finish possible, consistent with being handmade in Pakistan, but crafted with care.
