Publications On Iraqi Arms?

!! I actually found some reference in the Elgood book. I have no idea how I missed it...

The term gdaimi is mentioned in Elgood book but references to Najd Bedouin rather then Iraqis, this ofcourse very helpful and many Najdi tribes have actually moved to Iraq (Zbair for example)

Now another thing I couldnt find is the term "akfa" refering to marsh Arab daggers.

Reference: Elgood, Arms and Armour of Arabia, Page 70 - 71
