See the attached link for a real treasure of photos of Yemen.

These people have obviously been very busy. I found my own photos uploaded here as well as photos from the forum.
Navigation is a bit difficult but there are hundreds upon hundreds of images.
I especially enjoyed see this National Guard Pin with a Gusbi Jambiya and a photo of the National Guard wearing Gusbi Jambiya.
It is worth the time to look through.

I have a new Yemeni sword coming as well. I will post when I receive it.

Salaams Michael and good to hear you are recuperating.. Your picture selection is an absolutely unique and a stunning photo album of Yemeni Ethnographics... I have been in the system several hours and have barely seen half of the magnificent examples... A must for students of Southern Arabia...I look forward to seeing the new Yemeni Sword.
Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
