This sword / saber from Oman is a very rare variant of the Kattara classical sword from the same place, see example: Iaroslav Lebedynsky Les Armes Orientales Page 78. The 29 inches fullered blade is of European origin, marked HARVEY. The handle is covered with leather and the pommel is a heavy steel square block acting as a counter balance to the blade. The scabbard is covered with beautifully tooled leather set with two chased silver carrying rings bands. Total length 38 inches. Very good condition. Blade with blackened spots. Minor losses to the scabbard leather.
