The same is true about blades in the Turkish Chamber in Dresden and in the Wallace.
My guess the conservators :
1. Wanted to keep them in the "as found" condition ( as sugested by Charles)
2. Did not want to subject them to acid etching, ie corrosion.
Academically correct, but esthetically disappointing.

Salaams and thanks for bringing up this brillant thread... The picture at #11 is absolutely relevant to the sword under scrutiny presently and I had forgotten that I already had posted with Michael Blalock on this sighting...Currently we are puzzling over the weapon as being Yemeni etc.

see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/newrep...ote=1&p=152299 Scroll down 12 pictures(final picture) and see 3rd from right sword.

Regards,

Thank you Erlikhan, if you are ever still around!

I think my heart just broke from seeing too many awesome kilic with too many great yelmans... Also I like the keris and especially the rencong in #11 is drool'a'licious!

Interesting to see the daggers in post #11, no 5 described as Turkish?
