Stu, thank you very much for your welcome and the post all very helpful and certainly clarify matters for me.
I don't wish to cheeky and this is away from the original post, but would you have any idea on the origin and age of the sword - pics attached. Hard to photograph where we have it mounted on a wall. We love it and it always prompts positive comments. Many thanks again. Gordon |

Hi Gordon,
Yemeni sword. I once had 3 of these with very similar scabbard decoration but they have since been "passed on". The 3 I had, had different shaped blades, 1 was like yours with a straight blade. The other 2 had curved blades, but the scabbard work was similar to yours with white metal chape and drag and the wound metal along the scabbard length. Not sure about them being used in actual combat but nice anyway. Hope this helps. P.S If you wish to PM me for "off topic" questions please feel free.... Or email bevnstu99@gmail.com Stu |
