I assume these are what you are refering to?? Thats a nice piece Gene. Perhaps its lonely??
![]() The term "wahabite" is really a term used (like Jambiya) by collectors, to describe a large range of daggers of this long bladed type. More correctly according to the description applied to this particular pattern in the 1991 Exhibition at the King Faisal Center, Riyadh, the correct name is (and I quote) "A DHARIA dagger known as MALSA, with a blade of the BEYD type. This pattern contemporary to the Bani Shahr, Bani Malik and Bani Qarn tribes" Hope this is of interest. Stu BY THE WAY-----HOWS THE SUNNY SOUTH?? A BIT COLD? ![]() Last edited by kahnjar1; 30th November 2010 at 03:30 AM. |
