Lotfy is correct I did missinterpret the swords in the photo. Hoping to bring out a discussion on the function of these different styles of blades from three rather run of the mill swords I chose to use the sellers term "Arabian Tulwars", not a great way to start a conversation, I guess. Steve

Salaams Archer... Oh no not at all... I didn't mean to pick holes in your choice of words... in fact it is easy for people to occasionally mis name a sword ... Ethnographic arms is littered with such things... I mean Tulvar Pulwar ... Sayf, Kattara, Quddera, Katar...to name but a few...I mean its misnomer ally !!!
It is indeed a very interesting subject. Bravo !!

Salaams All~ A couple of Ethiopian blades mounted on Tulvar Hilts and rigged with Omani Scabbards.

Interesting examples Ibrahiim. Edge weapons and their variations never seem to end. Man will continue to make alterations to suit his needs and fancies. Conquests and travel only added to the examples to be found.
