Default shamshir - edge up ??
Sorry if this is something well known, but I was surprised to see that mamluks have worn their shamshirs edge up. Attached are pictures of napoleonic mamluks, with an exception of the one whith the man (Mehmet Ali) surrounded by turkish forces shooting at mamluks below - for comparison turks have their shamshirs worn edge down.
