There is a thread in SwordForums that links to an article on what must be one of the most beautiful kopeshes that I have ever seen, indeed one of the most beautiful swords that I have ever seen. The post and the article are by SFI member Manoucher Moshtagh Khorasani and the kopesh itself was made by an Iranian smith named Ostad Haj Hossein Farajian. Manoucher had posted extensively on this kopesh a long while back but the thread and its pictures were lost in one of SFI's periodic restructurings. But he must have relocated his pictures of the sword as he has written an article about it and he posted a link to the article as he has had many requests for the pictures.
