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?

No I meant I couldn't find a pic as good as the two you posted.... Does the one I posted have a charm link? (the sepia toned one) |

There also appears to be a hole where a link could be fitted. I wonder how old the photo is? I wonder when Bedouin stopped using Matchlocks? spiral

Oh yes  I know nothing about the Bedouin, especially the origins of their weapons, so I wondered from looking at his gun and sword, if this photo (like many of that era) was somewhat staged? |
