Salaam,
I think at something like that: http://www.davidmus.dk/en/collection...uks/art/1-1998 Ibrahim & Iain, have a look at this link. Is it possible to have an European blade, reused by Mamluks then by Omani? Best, Kubur |

The swords in your link were donated in a number of series to the arsenal in Alexandria. I recommend back issues of the Park Lane Fair publication which feature a number of highly insightful articles on the subject by Clive Thomas and David Oliver. The blade shown by Ibrahiim has the look more of a 16th or 17th century blade perhaps found on a walloon hilt originally. Those more versed in European blades can hopefully elaborate or correct this impression. |
