Runjeet, according to the Mets records they have 83 katar, 2 are on display and 64 have images that are available for viewing. I will have them all edited and online soon, I will post a link when I am through.

Since gold work was mentioned I thought I would post one of the two Met katars that is available for viewing, it has some incredible koftgari "The watered steel blade has a chiseled medallion at the top of both sides decorated with an inscription that reads: "Help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the glad tidings to the believers" (Koran 61:13)", and there is a couple of mystery items, the first is labeled as a pata but it looks more like a type of katar.
