You're always welcome Mike  You've still got to work on your arabic  , but it makes sense. Of course, without knowing how to speak or having a translator with you, its useless to go there. Check out the second last pic from the 3rd post, thats a kattara you havent added to your unique connection

Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures.
Do any of the shops in the bazaar sell shields or armour (i.e. mail shirts, bazubands or helmets?) On the subject of the sword blade, I have to say it looks pretty new for a 500 year old blade, but I'm no expert. The following forums might give you some answers: http://forums.swordforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11 http://forums.swordforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=13 http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewforum.php?f=1 |

I think I saw some mail shirts around, but I did not see any bazubands. Im sure that al-ahaidib's shop has everything, including armour. If you havent heard, I was banned from swordforum a while ago, but I shall try on myarmoury

There must be Tudor ie 1500s script and engraving to check against this blade on the internet. The way it is on the blade does look as if it is a little latter.
What if the 1510 is an Islamic number, would it then be England 2003. The way England is engraved does look rather modern. Last edited by Tim Simmons; 21st January 2007 at 12:19 PM. |
