Hi Stu, We agree that " unusual" is the better term for these blades, I think the visual attraction is all to do with additional ribs without them you are left with half a fuller on the outer edges. Always interesting to find variations to the norm. Finding the reinforcement is just a fluke they are likely on all of these hilts. Your responses and opinions are always welcome and helpful.
As you said, I haven't found any Arabian Armour, so far. In Elgoods' title, "Arms and Armour of Arabia" How does Armour apply, bucklers, captured Armour?
