Oman and it's old. Ibrahiim I'm sure will be able to explain a lot better.

Is that a design etched on the blade? A closeup of that and the hilt would be helpful, also the patterns on the scabbard.

Congrats on a very nice find. There are some very good discussions about these if you spend some time trawling through the acrhives with the search function.
Good detailed photos may tell more of a story about this one though as Iain had indicated.
