Simply beautiful.....as always, I came to a screeching halt when I hit the "gigantic two-handed dagger".
Maybe it's a genetic quirk? **grin** Again, wonderful photos of some magnificent pieces, thank you. |

Erlikhan, wonderful photos!!! I always wanted to see what Janissary armour looked like after reading about them and watching a television program on the History Channel about the Janissary. The kilijs are wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Salaams All ~ Whilst down in the basement I happened to dig up this very interesting thread which is well worth having a look at... In these pictures is what I believe to be the influence to straight Old Omani Battle Swords "Sayf." Originally the photo shows an Abaasid weapon #11 foto 11 and below that a long handled sword with no quillons but a big cuff that was also Abaasid #11 foto 12 but passed down the centuries to become a Saudia/Yemeni weapon (with a remarkably similar hilt to the Old Omani Batttle Sword.. It is not beyond reason that these two swords both influenced the Old Omani design. Regards Ibrahiim. |

Ibrahiim, Thanks for bringing this back. I did not see this when it was first posted. Beautiful swords. Yes, the Mamluke swords look very much to be the foundation of the south arabian straight sword. I think the sword in photo 12 with the spade end is an example of the south arabian sword we have seen in the Yemeni museum, Riyadh and I think you have one.
