[ s126 ] s126 Indo Persian Shamshir

Description

s126 Turkish / Indo Persian Shamshir , Nice sword but has a bit of wear & tear as expected for age, blade has some heavy pitting towards the hilt but most of it is quite clean & presentable, not perfect as a lot of it has fine salt & peppering as seen in pics, other spots are not affected so its far from a perfect blade but quite good all the same, it appears to be a foreign blade IE British or European as the blade has a couple of finely etched designs of vines & Trophies common on many Brit & European swords, nice koftgiri designs to hilt, guard & scabbard fittings, The guard was off it & i have slid it back into place, its holding firm but is more a friction fit, scabbard is leather over timber with a fancy bullion wire seam, the bottom scabbard fitting is a bit loose & i would say it will fall off at some point, It may not but a very easy fix if it does, just slip it back on & wedge it or glue it should that happen.
