Not sure about that Rick. NONE of us are so called "experts".....we are all still learning, and that is the fun of collecting and sharing our interests!

Thats an impressive selection you have there Stu.
Can you tell us any more about these beauties?
I'd also be interested to see the contrasting blades on these impressive sized Jambiya.
Are you displaying them as a group?

Thanks for the kind comments Gene. All are Western/Southwestern Arabian as far as I am aware. Age varies from late 19th century to mid/late 20th century, and as you can see the basic style does not change that much. Blades are either centrally ribbed or non ribbed, and I have attached here a couple of pics showing the difference.
They are displayed together, but as I have a local militaria show coming up at which they will be displayed, I have not sorting things out properly at present. Will post some pics toward the end of July to show how things went.
The last pic is of a new acquisition which arrived today.
