Default Omani Shamshir
It took me a while to acquire one, but I was finally able to with the help of a friend, to whom I am very grateful. I can finally claim that I have collected all the major types of Omani/Zanzibari swords. The nimchas fascinate me the most, but shamshirs seem to have been reserved for some of the highest ranking members of society in Oman, Zanzibar and the Comoros, such as royals and grand viziers.
