I have another question: what is the material used for the hilt, horn?
Cow, giraffe or troll?
Thanks

Salaams Kubur As noted the hilt is off a cow. Actually I rather like this khanjar ... It will clean up very well... The belt section is original to the item I think... at least the work is similar and looks to be Baatinah style. The coin being Saudia...see http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...F3&FORM=IQFRBA for references to this coin style. It is always difficult to imagine the original Khanjar as so many parts can be changed... but anyway... it would be nice to view this one after a full clean up...
