Any of the swords pictured in these images above but disregarding the typically foreign Shashka, Qama and possibly the Yataghan. Examples that show distinct silverwork be it it the Syrian hilt type known within these pages or the standard Ottoman hilt type, also seen in Bedouins hands, also pictured above. Gavin |

The artist has certainly presented a panoply of weapons, Kastane, Shamshir, Karud, Kaskara, Yataghan, Tulwar, Tabar...impressive...how interesting it would have been to study weapons in the days of these fine artists...thank you for sharing.

An Ottoman Pala in Syria, I'd love to know what design elements are in the silver, this is the type of thing I'd like to see in more detail.
