According to the Arabic captions in that book, all those swords are Mamluk swords from the 2nd half of the 15th century.
I actually saw a very dilapidated edition of that book many, many years ago in the library of the faculty of Archaeology at cairo University.
Thats what I said, mamluk swords from the 15th century. This book is amazing, and there is no other book in the world that covers the same subject in this detail, god bless Dr.Uncal.
