Two more Omani Khanjar for comment and comparison with the others.
The first one was "liberated" at the time of the Yemeni uprising in the late 60s/early 70s by a mercenary in the Sultans Armed Forces. The blade appears to be "tribal" forged and is very rough but extremely sharp. This particular Khanjar has its Shafra back knife. Age probably around 1940s/50s.
The second one which has gold and silver thread on the scabbard also bears the Sultans Crest on the belt "buttons", is probably around 1960s. It also has the more usual type blade.
Comments welcome.
Regards Stuart
