Only One Available. This is a very interesting Arabic sword with heavy engraving across the hilt. There are Arabic or Persian characters on the chappe\/rainguards, but we have been unable to discern them. The sword is missing its scabbard, but remains in gorgeous condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sword’s hilt is beautifully engraved on the handle, handguard, backstrap, and grip ferrule. The back of the grip has opened a small bit, revealing the material inside. The hilt is made entirely of metal, which is odd for a sword of this period. The blade has a false second edge near the top. The blade of the sword measures 30½”, with an overall length of 35⅝”. The design of the blade leads us to believe this would’ve been a cavalry saber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very intriguing sword that requires much more research, a great project for any sword collector! This example comes ready for further research and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 30½” \u003cbr\u003eOverall length: 35⅝”\u003cbr\u003eCrossguard: 4½” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41867055431749,"sku":"ONJR24APNS010","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR24APNS010__01.jpg?v=1726258944","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-persian-arab-19th-century-sword-with-ornate-engraved-hilt-1","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
