Have to agree, I like these rather 'Plain Jane' examples over the elaborate mother of pearl/brass encrusted ones mainly made for show and weddings.

If anyone is in Norfolk England some time, they should visit Sandringham, they have over a hundred on display on the walls, a legacy of the Raj.

They also have a long corridor with the walls covered in ethnic weapons and blades of all types.
