I found these yemeni swords,
One with a look-like finial sphere pommel,
The others who shows a silver strip decoration all around
the scabbard typical of Yemen or Oman work.
The last ́’providencé’ picture coming from a 2008 thread about yemeni swords
showing a sword with crossed wires decorations on the scabbard.
I wonder in wich bad wet conditions ́’miné’ was kept for turn the silver wires all ́’flash’́ green; low grade silver with a lot of copper ?
