Jim, I'd guess yours once had a better looking leather cover on the grip and scabbard...

 , It was better, but still a pretty pedestrian example. I was excited at the time because then virtually nobody had these, and I found it in an auction in London. As always, I was just going for an example 'of the type'. There was little knowledge on these, and the only useful reference was Robert Elgood's "Arms & Armour of Arabia". In that he noted the dearth of local knowledge of these and all other I had ever seen were the Demmin and Burton references . I'm glad to see Jerseyman's example and to see these come up again. |
