You mean swords made in Damascus, Syrian or so-called bedouins swords or kilij made in Damascus? I would like to help but I need to know which kind of sword are you looking for...

Dear Kubur,

Any of the swords pictured in these images above but disregarding the typically foreign Shashka, Qama and possibly the Yataghan.

Examples that show distinct silverwork be it it the Syrian hilt type known within these pages or the standard Ottoman hilt type, also seen in Bedouins hands, also pictured above.
