I am deployed to Iraq and purchased these as Iraqi sword an knifes. They have the following written on them:

Sword= 1171 and "In the name of GOD"
Matching knife "There is no God but God."
Horse head knife "In the name of God"

They have either ivory, or horn handles, and silver sheaths, and
all of the blades are Demascus.

If any one could tell me any thing about these I would appriciate it.

My intent is to place these in a display case as a memoir of my time spent over here.

Thank you,
CPT Kight
