Hi Brian,
I wondered how long it would take for this to appear here! My initial comments to you appear to be correct in that it is from the Arabian Peninsula. I SHOULD have out bid you afterall as the new pics show it in much better light than the originals! Anyway WELL DONE> I might have to have a SERIOUS talk to you at some stage! The blade looks to me to be european even though it has no marks. Somewhat better in appearance the locally made.
Regards Stuart
