This wonderful shamshir is mounted with a Hungarian style blade which dates to the early to mid-18th century. Blade is 81 cm long, multi-fullered, and engraved with talismanic symbols of sun, moon, ornamental strap-work and floral sprays. Back of the blade is engraved with an arrow pointing towards the point of the blade, another traditional 18th century stylistic element. Hilt is in the Syrian fashion, with minor losses to the horn. Sword is tight and well-balanced. A very similar sword is featured in Robert Elgood's monumental book "Islamic Arms and Armour". An outstanding and untouched early Arabian shamshir!
