Thanks Stu, the name game phenomenon, collectors penchant for localizing terms with weapon forms based on predominant associations with certain groups, ethnicity or any number of reasons. I did see one reference that noted that the Wahhabite term was indeed used in 'western' parlance because these were so commonly seen worn by Wahhabite tribesmen, Ikhwan.
Beautiful examples in your collection, breathtaking! Thank you for sharing them....I was hoping you'd come in here..this is your area!
