No I meant I couldn't find a pic as good as the two you posted.... Does the one I posted have a charm link? (the sepia toned one) |

There also appears to be a hole where a link could be fitted. I wonder how old the photo is? I wonder when Bedouin stopped using Matchlocks? spiral Last edited by spiral; 6th October 2010 at 05:58 PM. Reason: Add photo. |

Oh yes I know nothing about the Bedouin, especially the origins of their weapons, so I wondered from looking at his gun and sword, if this photo (like many of that era) was somewhat staged? |

Thanks Much, Could you share more of your impression of this knife and the three pronged pommel ?
I'd like to know what it all means and about the era in which it was made. Thanks Much, Warren in Arizona Quote:
