Who knows which of these swords were supplied just for the picture shoot or who was wearing what sword for what purpose Im afraid... Al I can say is that as a rule
The dancing straight sayf was not used as an Iconic sword(as far as I know~ but it might have been) but that the others were certainly used for that purpose.
