Great pieces, I love number 1,2 & 5 also!
I think the current live rust needs arresting though, before 3 & 5 deterate even further & end up like the relic blade on 4. Spiral |

Nice collection Bill.
I agree with Spiral though. That rust on these wafer thin blades is very worrying. Best Gene |

Thanks, gentlemen!
These have been sitting in my basement for a good long while--I just don't have enough wall space to put everything on it. (Built a place with a lot of large windows--plenty of light, but not much place for the arms on the wall.) The gold looking one is gold. I bought it WAY before gold went through the roof! Bill |

I agree about the rust....kill it quick!! #1, 2 & 5 are either Saudi or Yemeni Jambiya and 3 & 4 probably Omani. Nice pieces and thanks for showing.
