Scimitar description
A scimitar ( or ) is a backsword or sabre with a curved blade, originating in the Middle East.
* The curved sword or "scimitar" was widespread throughout the Middle East from at least the Ottoman period, with early examples dating to Abbasid era (9th century) Khurasan.
* The type harks back to the makhaira type of antiquity, but the Arabic term saif is probably from the same source as Greek xiphos (the straight, double-edged sword of Greek antiquity).
* The Persian sword now called "shamshir" appears by the 12th century and was popularized in Persia by the early 16th century.
