Thought I should include the back. I try google research Khanjar and Jambiya gets a bit confusing. How many Arab states wear these?

Doing a bit of comparison with old auction Omani Khanjar. Too my untrained eye my piece does show elements the same as these old examples. In that the scabbard is composed of three decorative sections. Admittedly the old examples have a separate decorated chape section. Mine does has a decorative suggestion of a chape. The old example shown with the blade out of the scabbard. Has the same but rather more crude, even though appears to be silver, flowing vine and flower design on the handle as mine.
