[Jack Loomes]

19th Century

Place of Origin: Persia

An interesting Persian straight sword known as a Revival sword, as this type of sword revives the use of 15th Century style Islamic straight swords. The example has a beautiful, and very sharp, steel blade, forged from “Sham” wootz, with two central hollow ground fullers and an Islamic cartouche either side of the blade. The blade is secure in the hilt, which has traces of gold koftgari.
