I can not find the thread. I will keep looking. Thuluth has many forms from various parts of the islamic world. I wonder if we could get Verified examples from "Sudan" and examples from "Western Soudan" for examination. Could be a good thread to start.

Thats an excellent idea Tim as this is a topic that would be extremely helpful in understanding the motif on these weapons. A separate thread would help as the subtopic is lost in the context of this thread...which has been a facinating discussion BTW !!!
I have taken the liberty of posting a separate thread as you have suggested, and I look forward to pursuing this further with you and hopefully others will join in. I couldnt find the other thread either, but did come across the interesting thread from April 'Sudanese kirach' which looked at a curious Indian sword with thuluth covered blade.

Maybe Rick can find the old bayonet thread?
