that last number no longer is valid. maybe dom's message worked.

i found the other interesting, as i have worked for aramco & spent 10 years in dhahran, ksa. i remember a sword similar to that ebay one (in post no. 1) in a souk in one of the main new modern shopping centres in al khobar, it was priced at around a hundred dollars and was obviously artificially antiqued and distressed. the shopkeeper admitted he bought them from a dealer in syria that had them made as 'turkish' decorators. i did not buy one.
