146: Turkish 'scimitar' - They did not use anything like that, in spite of Indiana Jones. Renaissance painters assumed Christians used curved swords like that. They didn't. European falchions sometimes did tho.


147: Dao - Actually a nepali 'Kora', sharp on the inside of the curve.


148: Sailor's Cutlass: What they heck is that?
