ON HOLD--18th - 19th century Caucasian Arm Guard Bazu Band made of a sheet of iron and etched with five lobed central cartouches and surmounted with arabesque imitating Arabic inscription. These types of arm guards were made in Russia and Caucasus from the 17th to the 19th century, and were very popular still in the 19th century among Khevsurs Chechens and Georgians. They were made in the style of Persian and Turkish defences but the shape is slightly different from the Turkish and Persian prototype which is very shallow with a rounded top.
REFERENSES: Very similar Bazu Bands to this, except from the 17th century, are published in the Russian book "Russian Arms And Armour" Edited by Yuri Miller Leningrad,1982 figure 21 (b).
MEASUREMENTS: Length: 30,7 cm (12 1/8 in). Width at the widest point: 10 cm (3 7/8 in)

Rare 18th Century Mughal Shamshir Shikargar very similar to the sword published in the book “A Glossary of The Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor” By George Cameron Stone page 552 Figure 710. The very heavy and sharp blade is made of Damascus Steel carved with animals in low relief outlined in gold; Steel hilt with a damascened floral motif; Wooden scabbard covered with fine leather tooled in eastern design. Some parts of the blade are pitted. To bring the pattern out of the blade mainly the blade must be treated and polished, and this must be done by an expert as the blade is decorated in gold. The pattern is visible but not strongly visible. This is a prime example of a top quality Mughal Shikargar Shamshir; it is hard to find and rarely shows up on the market. Measured in a straight line, the entire length of the sword out of the scabbard is 37 1/4 Inches . The length of the blade is 33 Inches
