Dom, I would be happy to talk and learn more of Bukhara every day

My apologies too Dom, being away from my own notes, I had my wires crossed abour the exactness of the Emir's sabre but have a look at these two links;

First one scroll half way down and view the sabre in the hands of a Bukharan Interior minister and then in the second link a better image of the Emir's sword hilt (I'm sure there are more somewhere...), they are the same style Russian sabres in Bukharan dress...I know not how much the Emir's differs but I would say not much looking at them at face value.
