Yemeni Curved Sword
this item 's auction completed this morning, sadly i did not win it tho i tried.
it was (nistakenly) listed as a Dha with white metal mounts. i hope the winner was not expecting it to be one thought it deserved posting here as there seem to be very few pics of curved ones. there was unfortuneatly no pictures of it out of the scabbard. |
