Hi Manolo,

Rick is correct the bidding was on the first sword which is an Omani kattara. This one is from Elgood's Arms and Armour of Arabia.

Ah...Excellent, my thanks to both of you for clarifying the mistery.
I thought the top sword might be the one of interest...the other two seemed too common in contrast. The pictures I had received upon request were indeed quite poor form a good judgement -for me at least- and to see Oriental-Arms battle for it...guess sometimes you gotta go all out...
Once again my thanks for the help and for the literature as well.

Regards,
Manolo
