Thanks for the comments. I did not really expect such intrigue as I no little of this area. Where ever it was made it has a jolly nice blade, heavy and well formed. You can see where some hard rust spots were. The decorative elements though not my taste are very pretty. Could Gonzoadler be correct, Omani work to suit the makers eye rather than tradition? Anyway some close up pics. Thanks for the ideas.

PS I suspect the nails in the handle might be silver?
