There was not so many swords in the National Museum, still I took some pictures
    There were some really nice turkish swords in other hall, but the museum staff didn't like me taking pictures there for some reason so I had to retreat

Thanks for the additional pictures. The sword on the left in this picture was what I was hoping to see. I notice that the spiral silver strip seen on newly made yemeni swords is on a lot of these. Great suff!
