    The 30 inch deeply curved blade is 1 and 1/4 inches width at forte. The blade with very fine wootz Damascus pattern with gold Damascened inlaid panels on both sides at hilt and gold maker’s cartouche on right side. Engraved silver cross guard. Silver banded horn grip scales with finger grooves. Full silver mounted scabbard with silver carrying rings engraving ensuite with cross guard. Leather section held by silver chain.
    Condition of this lovely blade is very fine with minor loss to gold inlay, excellent wootz pattern, only very minor pitting at extreme point. Hilt is excellent overall.
