Hi Kuber,
I see Ibrahim hasbt found the time or inclination to repley around your Kattara yet, So ill offer a little help.
There are 6 types of Omani Swords.
1.The Old Omani Battle Sword. Battle Sword. Straight and stiff.
2.The Curved Kattara. Merchant and Slavers Sword. Curved. Quite rigid..
3.The Omani Dancing Sword. Pageants and Salutations ...The Dynastic Item...Dynasty started 1744 but sword would have taken time to promote perhaps 15 years. Straight and very flexible.
4. The straight bladed fighting Kattara
5. The straight bladed kattara fake made by dodgy Omani dealers in the souk.
6. The Omani Fighting Shamshir.
