Default Silver thouma jambiya again.

Just as an example my recent jambiya.
They don't grow on trees but I count myself lucky to find two amazing specimens shortly after each other. This thouma has lived more than the previous one but of a very good quality silverware. No marks to be found. The blade is solid for a change but not too great quality and does not fit well so strongly suspect not original to the rest. A surprise was the belt which appeared to be embroidered with silver thread after a comment from a collector friend.
Regards
Marc

The handle is horn, fairly worn and damaged.
