    Default Arabian Peninsula Weapons/Armor/Etc.

    out of curiosity, is anyone in the EB team an expert on ancient arab warfare? if so, do they know about Arab warfare for the period 300-600AD. I'd like to mainly confirm these points:
    1-arab swords were straight
    2-armor was mail, padded cloth or leather or none. the scale and silk is innacurate.
    I want to know about the validity of these statements (most of which are from arab accounts/what I found on internet and books), and any extra information is welcome (shield patterns, tacics, etc)-most importantly, were they as devastating as Saba' (archer spear-wise)?
    and thanks in advance

    @cmaq: I know you knw about the post in IBFD, I want to further confirm these facts (
