Miscellaneous Swords in an Omani Souk.
Salaams, A couple of strange swords I encountered in Buraimi Souk today.
Said to have come in via a Syrian supplier. One badly rehilted (aluminium hilt) with what could be a European stamp on the blade. The second possibly a court sword with a not unattractive clossonne multi coloured brass hilt. The curved blade with floral geometric figure five decoration.
