Nice collection but it could do with more research. A cinquedea is identified as a Mughal sword...actually most things are identified as Mughal.

Most of the Yemeni jewelry and a lot of the jambiyas look like tourist pieces to me.

mmmm in a way Rick, kukri bayonets did exist in the early 19th century but they looked nothing like that. Micheal are the gold scabbard Jambiys for rich tourists or true pieces, do you think? Spiral |

Not tourist, but expensive modern decorative pieces would be my guess. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'd like to have them.
