Hello All,
Sorry to put you off Aurangzeb but what you have here wasnt even made in Saudi Arabia, these swords and daggers were and still are made in Syria for export to countries such as S.Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, they are for tourists, but mostly for sword dances. As RSWORD has said, the blades are usually not heat treated, though some are. Be careful with the hilt, as it probably is fixed with plaster, though I find a way to make some excellent beaters out of these swords. |
