EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Eastern Battle-axe, adorned with intricate damascening and featuring the monogram of the legendary Sultan Saladin. The date 550 of the Hegira is proudly engraved on this remarkable weapon, symbolizing its historical significance. This engraving was created by the English School in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The Choice Examples of the Engravers Art publication from Hamilton Adams in approximately 1890 includes this illustration, highlighting not only the beauty but also the craftsmanship behind this battle-axe. Look closely at its richly damascened surface, which adds a touch of elegance to its formidable presence. This image transports us back to a time when arms like these were essential for soldiers and armies alike. It serves as a reminder of their importance as defensive weapons during battles and conflicts throughout history. From infantry units to naval forces, soldiers relied on such weaponry to protect themselves and their comrades.

This emphasizes how armed forces have evolved over time to include diverse individuals dedicated to defending their nations.
