Regarding the photos of those Omani swords, their shape, features, etc all date back to c. 600 CE ; not just 751 CE. In fact, I believe 751 CE would be TOO PRUDENT.
However, I still need to know the dimensions of the blades: whether in length, breadth, and thickness...along with the full weight of these swords minus their scabbards.
Any other info regarding these swords shall be highly appreciated, Sir.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Dear Sir,
I would love to know how you connected this sword style to the 7th century AD with such determination.
Cheers!
