Omani Jambiya for comments

[Atlantia]

Good afternoon gentlemen.

This Jambiya comes with a story......
A dealer bought this in front of me at a fair a few months ago.
I was NOT happy!

I of course had a look at it when it appeared on his stall at the next fair and I even told him how he beat me to it and congratualted him on having done so.

Anyway, He was having a very slow day today, so it's finally found it's way to me for a very modest profit for him (that I can live with).

So, if anything has 'rubbed off' on me from my from my conversations with Stuart about the finer nuances of jambiya-lore........
I would venture that this is an Omani Jambiya.
It has hand chiseled decoration on the silver, not the 'rolled' decoration I often see, so I'd say this is quite an old one. Belt is nice, beautiful Silver buckle, finely woven silver scabbard decoration.

Comments, estimates of age and any further information (or corrections if I've got it wrong) greatfully received as always.

Best
Gene
