Thanks for all the valuable suggestions.
It's really amazing what can be learned on this forum

Good advice with the Ruq'ah script. But this is currently far beyond my abilities. I guess i should start learning to read
standard arabic script and then continue from there.
@Stuart
Thanks, I've already noticed your very similar jambiya. You presented it in the thread referenced in the first post.
Main difference seems to be the "spike" at the tip of the sheat... and that the maker of your piece has a far clearer writing style.
@Gene
Thanks! While i personally like a combination of different materials, the "all metal" pieces have the benefit that you don't run into trouble with CITES
@Dom
Kinan? Hmm, there is indeed some similarity. Good suggestion!
Best Regards,
