Collectors
:
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
: I'm a collector and re-enactor, active in local groups and Renaissance Fair so I get lots of feedback. I sell what I own and can recommend! See my Seller Ratings and buy with confidence! Plus I ship fast.
Some
minor
flaws in finish possible, consistent with being handmade in Pakistan, but crafted with care.
Thanks
