Latest addition to the collection is this Assib Jambiya, in Abdi style. The scabbard I believe was made in the Hadraumaut and the dagger probably is from Hodeida in the Tihama.
There is a significant amount of arabic script on the scabbard and on the reverse of the hilt, and I would appreciate please a translation if possible.
Quite a big Jambiya at 14" from top of hilt to bottom of scabbard curve.
