Very nice sword Fernando. I always wanted one of these when I was collecting Omani stuff.

Fernando you're a lucky man, this sword is superb.
Teodor is right and provided the good references. But I don't think that these swords are from India but from Yemen. They might have been used in India but not produced in India... Fernando are you sure that you didn't buy the one from the Royal armouries? Its almost the same and dated from 1771-1799...

Stu, congratulations should go to Fernando, not me. I have one of these, but it is significantly inferior and does not belong in this thread with Fernando's excellent example. Teodor |

Anything belongs here!
There was a wide range of the “ luxuriousness” and this one indeed belongs to the upper 10%. But IMHO we should all be enriched by seeing the whole gamut. I have one from the same family, but it is too late to photograph it. Later, OK? |

OK then, here is my rather mundane example.
