Thanks Phil and Eddie and glad you found it of interest. Yes it's in my possession, and is quite heavy and very impressive close up. Almost medieval in fact, as befits the story Duff told. I found some photos of al-Atrash on the web, who seems to have been a very important Druze leader later in life. If you find out any more about him Eddie on your trip to the museum, or indeed anything else about the Wadi Sirhan, I'd be most grateful.
