Hi,

Last Monday, I had a chance for a trip to Riyadh, and I flew there, staying three days. I took pictures of almost everything, museum inventories, ruins, antique stores, and even one sword workshop, and some pre-historic stuff. Anyway, for the sake of staying on topic of these fora, I will only post the pictures of the weapon's, and any relevent comments I recieved on them.

I. Riyadh National Museum, all these weapons were collected from within S.Arabia

A Shalfa (infantry spear) and a sword

A Mizraag (javelin), and a Syrian sword

A Syrian sword, and a Persian trident.

Copper spear heads and a dagger found near Ha'il, 18th century

A pair of Arab Karabellas, and five mizraags

A sword, rivetted mail shirt, and a buckler, found at Dir'iyah, late 18th c

Closeup of the buckler
