Well i did get it for a wooping 120$ :P though this doesnt mean that swords are cheap here, in the contrary actually. Pricing here is very random and some mediocre pieces can go as far as 3k $ and most of the "hidden" pieces are now sold. I once found a syrian sword with a "maybe" wootz blade and what seems to be recent gold inscription. The scabbard, fitting and hilt + crossguard are all recently made in the traditional way.. it sold for 3.2$ and tbh i wouldnt buy it because it looks very new. Though at somepoint once am satisfied of the Ordinary soldier type of swords i'll begin saving for the fancy stuff

Nice pieces, Abdullatif... While geographically diverse, they are nonetheless somewhat cohesive in theme. I am always envious of collectors such as yourself who exhibit the self discipline to stay "on theme" so to speak. Thank you for posting them for the collective consumption and appreciation of the forum.
