Royal bodyguards for King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia in 1947.

 


One is showing off his dagger, which he carries with him along with a sword, a pistol, and a sub machine gun (the other appears to have a rifle). It is likely the sword and dagger would have only been used to punish someone, while the guns would only be needed if an actual attack on the King took place.

  2. The submachine gun is a Sterling, which was just a little too late for WWII.

  3. what's the rifle? I would assume an SMLE would be standard but that isn't one (I believe).
