grrrrr, You got me. This sword I was told is made in the town of AL-Qatif, northeastern arabia. It is the first time I see this style of Arabian sword, which seems to be directly connected to Turkish and Persian Karabelas, so I thought I might take a couple of pics and post them.

May I ask for someone with knowledge of Karabelas to enlighten me please? I would like to know when/where they originated, what their name stands for, and how they spread throughout caucasia, arabia, persia, and turkey.

Its frustrating, I still did not recieve my copy of Dr. Elgoods book! Two more weeks to wait.
