Thanks heaps for the info, I am always keen to expand my knowledge. Here are some pics of another sword, with similarities to the first, but with a straight blade. Can I assume that this also has an old blade but was refurbished in Yemen? Possibly in the same shop?
The two I have are certainly impressive items and if someone received a hard blow from them, they would definitely get at least a nasty bruise!
