Abstract

Sultan Abdel-Hamid II is an important historical, yet controversial, figure. Some writings regarded him as a fair reformer, ruling a vast multi-ethnic empire with strength, intelligence and firmness. He faced Western and Jewish colonization and prevented them from establishing a national homeland in Palestine despite the weakness of the Ottoman state - the Sick Man of Europe. However, some viewed him as a tyrannical dictator who did his best for his country and for building a large army. Concerning the importance of the subject, we find that it is a unique and special case, specially the gift from Sultan Abdel-Hamid II to the tribe of Ballasmer   in southwestern Saudi Arabia and the northern city of Abha on the Sarawat mountain range. The envoy of Sultan Abdel-Hamid II reached the Arabian Peninsula and was received with hospitality and ovation by Emir (prince) Ali bin Mohamed German, Emir of Ballasmer and Ballahmer. and Sent anumber of the delegation to the Sheikh Mushabab Aal Muzher al-Asmari. Hence, the Sultan's envoy presented a rifle to the Sheikh Mushabab Aal Muzhe al-Asmari. It was Ottoman-made during the reign of Sultan Abdel-Hamid II, dating back to 1326 AH, painted in silver and stamped with Sultan Abdel-Hamid's II seal. There was a writing of "Istanbul" under the seal and an Ottoman phrase translated as "Made at gun-mills in Turkey
