Miscellaneous Swords in an Omani Souk.

[A.alnakkas]

Hello,

I think the 2nd sword is a rehilt from a mundane tulwar. The hilt is indian and is not of great quality. I wouldnt buy them both :P

[Battara]

I agree I wouldn't touch either one.

Salaams A.alnakkas and Battara~ Quite agree .. They are both in the "junk locker" in my opinion but that wasn't why I posted them. I also think that a sword to which has been added a stamp is quite often rare enough these days to cause me to pause a moment and possibly enquire further. In addition I think an interesting running article can be drummed up from regular visits to the Arab Souks so that forum can see the visual effects thus bringing to their screen some interesting views... I will work on that.

Ibrahiim, I agree - it's always interesting to see scenes and opinions on different markets, especially Arab souks, where many items we colect started their journeys. There are many markets, but only a handful where some interesting items as well as authentic athmosphere still remain.
