Here is one from 1947 and is of better quality. Funny I have never seen one older than the 1940s?

Here are some photos of Shabriyas being worn. I have never seen photos of other than military looking types wearing the Shabriya

Thanks for the photos, actually I have 2 of "non-military" civilian types with shibriya in my collection (yes, I collect photos as well) but they're on different computer, I'll post them in a few days

And I definitly like these nice jordanian daggers, and need to acqure more of them

BTW those modern guys, are they "Arab legion", I was always thinking that's bedouine Desert police

The Arab Legion was establish by the Brits. It was absorved into the Jordanian Army now I think.
