sadly i did not manage to buy any saudi items when i was there. al khobar & dammam did not seem to have very many shops that carried anything beyond tarnished silver daggers then. i had a friend in dammam that probably could have located the real stuff for me, but back then i was not as knowledgeable & was more interested in getting a traditionally made katana in japan.

i love the fullers on the one ALEX has...

the only islamic-ish curved sword i own, i have no idea where or when it comes from...
