Up for sale is this Indian Shamshir sword, employing a fantastic Persian wootz (Damascus) blade. The long heavy blade is 35 inches long, signed in true gold inlay that reads: Nasro Min Allhi Wa Fathon GHraib (Help from God and Early Victory) and Bandeye Shah Velayat Abbas (The representative of the king of the country Abbas) and with the Baduh the magic square of four figures inlaid in gold. The handle is of Indian classical shape, heavily covered with gold leaf and decorated. The sides of the hilt, just above the cross guard are inscribed in Arabic letters in a negative mode, i.e. entirely covered with gold leaving the Arabic letters of black steel. This inscriptions read: Amale. Mohammad Bikar (The work of Mohammad Bikar) and Sahebe Fazel Karim (The owner Fazel Karim) Total length 39 inches. Very good condition. Minor losses to the gold inlay on the blade and gold cover on the hilt. A small hole was drilled in the blade, probably for display purposes.
