I used to work in Muscat, Oman in the early 1970s, when I was just beginning to become interested in antiques arms and armour. I remember well visiting the old souk in Muttrah and seeing old swords, khanjars, matchlocks, powder flasks etc., for sale for small amounts, literally in piles, the silver black with age.

If only to go back in time....
