Saber with Scabbard blade possibly dated to A.H. 1191/A.D. 1777-78 Persian This is a classic example of a high-quality Iranian saber (shamshir) from the eighteenth century. The blade of crucible (watered”) steel bears the names of the legendary Iranian swordsmith Asadullah of Isfahan and his patron Shah 'Abbas I of Persia (r. 1588-1629). As Asadullah’s name is found on blades inscribed with dates ranging from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century, it is likely that most of the signatures are false.. Saber with Scabbard 32739
