Here we have a 4 ringer, Baatinah Khanjar and a nice belt with gold wash on key areas including the buttons and parts of the clasp... The Hilt is a high density plastic rendition quite common these days and in saving rare species horns is commendable. See #2 of reference for same hilt material.

I do admire that belt! I think it is older than the weapon.See the top picture where the button displays the Omani Emblem of two crossed swords over a Khanjar.

Baatinah Scabbard design always shows a lot of stitched and plate silver above and below the belt... filling the space allocated ... no expanse of leather...simply full of silver decoration.

Below The Baatinah Coast: North West from Muscat and beyond Sohar.

Thanks Ibrahiim ,have gone through the earlier thread ,regards Rajesh
