Artzi is an E.F. Hutton of Oriental swords: when he talks, people listen

Here is my Zanzibar with a typical D-ring and silver-chased horn hilt. It is followed by a somewhat rarer South Arabia sword: also with Nimcha-type handle, clipped quillons and a typical 2-color scabbard. It is inlaid with low-grade silver chased panels and embellished with coins.
Artzi, what do you think?
