I love katars, and such weapons, but I...

I'll stop at Allah because of the price... I got $50 for the vambraces, and I'll get $225 for the krug which will be blacked as well... :(

Ehm, I was thinking about such a design less than a week ago... Is there nothing new I could invent? :D

Would it be correct to put arabic text onto the disc of the krug instead of radial flutes?...
