Default Question for Jambiya & Khanjar lovers

Hi,

This jambiya was sold recently in America.
The scabbard is clearly from the 19th c.

I have a question about Yemeni jambiyas and Omani khanjars:

do we know when the shappes of the different models appeared?

Most of the types on the market are post 1900.
So I was just wondering if these models existed before the 1800 or if they appeared during the 19th c. (eg. the royal saidi khanjar)...

Thanks to all the jambiya specialists
