Armenian - Byzantine sabre /1100-1250 A.D. (850g approx)

ARMENIAN / BYZANTINE SABRE

Armenian were in close contact with the Byzantine, as well as the Seldjukides during the 12th century. A few years later, the stepping invaders, called "Mongols" are regularly raiding the modern called Armenia.
Such sabres are quite common in shape, and resemble the weapons used in the steppes, or by the Seljuk.
We have chosen not to reproduce the engravings on the blade, by mutual agreement with most of the customers, in order to reduce the cost.
