Here are a couple that I've picked up recently.
I Believe that the bone handle one could be pre WW2 and I think the other is a 1964 dated tourist model.

Ahhh! Thanks again Broadaxe for the clarification & also the pics of the bone examples. Interesting to see the blade shape varients.

Intresting bone top on that piece Warren, I havent seen the that shape before.

Indeed, Warren's bone handled specimen is rare, the three-pronged pommel is less common but this is the first I see with a bone handle. I think, though, its sheath has been made later, in the 1950's & onwards fashion.

Heres the oldest pictures Ive found so far of Bedouin with Shabria, there from1921. It would be nice to see other old ones if anyone has them?

...isn't that Auda Abu Tayi of the Howeitat?

The first picture is, IMHO, not of a Beduin. Look at the so-called " peot", longish braided hair in front of his ears. Also, the corners of his beard are not trimmed or shaved. And then, you will have to trust me, this is not an Arab face: this is an Ashkenazi Orthodox Jew dressed like a Beduin. Likely, a guard from one of the early Israeli kibbutzim. Romantic era.....

I had it listed as a Bedouin cheif, but a quick search on the name you provided "Auda Abu Tayi" confirms it is indeed the leader of the rebelion.

You may well be correct Ariel,thanks for sharing your thoughts!

But sadley I wouldnt know enough of the subject to know.

The photo was titled a Bedouin warrier from the Beni Hassan tribe?

Hi Spiral,
Great pictures, is this chap wearing a Shabria I can't see a 'charm loop'? His sword looks like it might be a Turkish capture?

Thanks Much, Could you share more of your impression of this knife and the three pronged pommel ?
I'd like to know what it all means and about the era in which it was made.
Thanks Much,
Warren in Arizona
