Lot 3005 | Shamshir, osmanisch, Mitte 19. Jhdt.
Shamshir, osmanisch, Mitte 19. Jhdt.
Ältere, gekrümmte Rückenklinge aus Wootz-Damast, Ende 18. Jhdt. (Kadscharenzeit), terzseitig mit goldeingelegten Inschriften in Nastaliq mit dem Namen des Schmiedes "Ali Asghar Isfahani", einer Widmung an Shah Abbas und Fath Ali Shah Kadschar. Zweiteiliges Gefäß aus Wootz-Damast, Parierstange mit langen Mitteleisen und facettierter Hilze, beide mit vollfächiger Rankenwerk-Goldtausia. Belederte Holzscheide mit ebenfalls aus Wootz-Damast gefertigten Beschlägen und en suite in Goldtausia dekoriert. Länge 97 cm.
Das Alter der Klinge und die Widmung an Fath Ali Shah (1771 - 1834) könnte darauf hinweisen, dass sie von einer Waffe stammt, die usprünglich der zweite Herrscher der Kadscharen-Dynastie getragen hat.

Leather covered wooden scabbard, the mounts also made of wootz Damascus steel and decorated en suite gold-damascening. Length 97 cm.
The age of the blade and the dedication to Fath Ali Shah (1771 - 1834) could indicate that it comes from a weapon originally carried by the second ruler of the Qajar dynasty.
