A typical early 20th C Arab Jambiya dagger. This style of daggers is called Omani, as its originate from Oman. However it is spread as well as other Jambiya’s styles all over the Arabian Peninsula. It has a 6 ½” curved and dual edge blade with a pronounced central rib, forged from good steel (not like many new Jambiya’s on the market whose blade are made from two-iron sheet pressed to form and welded together). The hilt is the classical “I” shaped cut from solid horn with a silver front panel and silver decoration at the top of the pommel. The scabbard is “L” shaped covered with leather and braided silver wires in an intricate decorative pattern. The belt attachment is made of complicate arrangements of silver rings and twisted silver wire, with a part of the belt still attached to it. All scabbard and hilt fittings are silver chased in a typical design. Very good plus condition. A good typical piece for the collector of Arabic weapons / art at a very low price.
