			OK, Lotfi, you asked for it :-) I just warn you: nothing pretty.... Ladies and gentlemen, you have an honor to see a modern ( ~20 years old) sword of the Negev beduin fabrication! |

			Oooh, believe me, I've seen worse...    This one is at least an honest attempt to recreate the old Turkish form. |

			LOL I find it strangely attractive :P Certainly an interesting example to have. Most modern pieces made in Syria and KSA are too shiney. |

			When a girl is told she has an "interesting" face, it is usually not meant as a compliment.   And when on top of that she is called "strangely attractive", she is likely to remain a spinster . I warned you, didn't I? :-) Let's be honest: it is butt-ugly. |
