Thanks Michael, all help appreciated.

Excelent Alnakkas! Wow! Thank you ! That realy clinches it as Yemenite Jewish silverwork I think!

Is there an inscription date on your Jambiya by any chance? It looks a lovely & unusuasl piece to my eye.

Hey Spiral,

The inscription on the stamp doesnt show clearly, its too dirty and I fear cleaning it as it may damage the inscription.

Check my other yemenite knife (said to be jewish work. Well the maker name fits aswell):

So imo, your belt is yemeni and early 20th century maybe late 19th
