Arabian Tulwars

I agree. Cannot find anything Arabian here: pure Indo-Persian tulwars.
The seller must have not been very educated: anything curved would be "arabian" for him, as per Hollywood drivel.

Agree. What the seller says doesnt matter. Although I think Steve confused it with me referencing to some people using Indian swords in the gulf..

Salaams Ibrahiim, More of a play on the way these Indian Swords were listed and this photo posted here:

Lotfy is correct I did missinterpret the swords in the photo. Hoping to bring out a discussion on the function of these different styles of blades from three rather run of the mill swords I chose to use the sellers term "Arabian Tulwars", not a great way to start a conversation, I guess. Steve

Salaams Archer... Oh no not at all... I didn't mean to pick holes in your choice of words... in fact it is easy for people to occasionally mis name a sword ... Ethnographic arms is littered with such things... I mean Tulvar Pulwar ... Sayf, Kattara, Quddera, Katar...to name but a few...I mean its misnomer ally !!!
It is indeed a very interesting subject. Bravo !!

Interesting examples Ibrahiim. Edge weapons and their variations never seem to end. Man will continue to make alterations to suit his needs and fancies. Conquests and travel only added to the examples to be found.
