Default Omani khanjar with ivory handle

My latest Omani khanjar with an ivory handle, from the baatinah (coastal region) of Oman Muscat-Mussandam according to Ibrahiim Al Balooshi's excellent posts. Fine silverwork of the scabbard, a good blade and an ivory handle schreger lines visible, with a silver plate. In very good condition but does not appear to be too old. Difficult to estimate the age. Comments welcome.


Regards
Marc

Hi Battara
thanks for your response, the repousee work was one of the details of this khanjar, which made me buy it. The ivory handle was also a plus point, it was the first one I found, something you don't come across every day.
Regards
Marc
