No, I never wanted to sell the sword. I just was selling a bunch of marginal jambiyas and posted the other sword on ebay to attract attention to my "see sellers other items". This is the only really nice thing I have from my time in Yemen. My family had lots of nice jambiyas and swords that were stolen in the 1970s. They are floating around North Carolina somewhere. Even some stone reliefs and statues from Himayarite and Sabean sites and a Rasulid Talismanic magic bowl that must be an ashtray somewhere. I'm keeping these swords forever.
