Short sword with middle eastern writing
25 August 2019
Description

Found this in my dad's things. Old looking, wooden handle with button (maybe attached to holster?). Steel? Middle eastern writing on base of blade. Blade is very dull. Wondering where this might be from? My dad was in the Navy and was in the Mediterranean during the 70's.
