Hi Steve,
Two nice pieces. The cased presentation?? one is I think likely Saudi, maybe eastern Saudi near Omani border, but I can tell you nothing more about it. The lower one which I feel I have seen somewhere before looks to be typically Hijazi (modern day Western Saudi). Agewise... the presentation one could be quite recent, maybe late 20th c unless you have some provenance. The Hijazi perhaps around 1970s.
Lets see what others think.
I have one with a similar scabbard design.
Regards Stu
