Salaams SwordsAntiqueWeapons ..You are a very highly respected dealer and specialist in ethnographic weapons. It stands to reason that you may appreciate the idiosyncrasies of Omani weapons. It is extremely easy for outsiders to confuse the theory...since they have no yardstick to go by regarding Oman. I hope I have been able to raise the curtain somewhat on the predicament surrounding these artifacts... and to show how very different has been the sword development here. They have no relationship to how weapons evolved in China or anywhere else... The specifics of the Omani Straight Sayf which as you know I claim as pageant only...are absolute. Oddly, all the weapons are joined by an invisible historical line. Peculiarly they are governed by a specific event and historically nothing is written... The key is in the Funun; The unwritten passed down by word of mouth traditions... Other keys are found in documents as yet not disclosed... but under the full examination of my research department which has exciting disclosures that will ...be interesting. ![]() Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi...
