1. The Dagger is added and comes from an ordinary Jambia.
2. It appears that there may be 3 items of silver from different smiths ~
a. The stamped girdle buckle.
b. The top rectangle of the scabbard.
c. The rest of the scabbard furniture. (and probably the belt buttons)
The belt is probably a random Yemeni belt.
It may be that the items 2a and 2c are linked though a simple inspection to the reverse should identify the stamps perhaps?
So that a clear picture can be made on forum can you kindly say which parts are original and which parts were placed by you?

The whole item is as I received it. Unlike some, I do not replace parts of the original to try and create something else.
You state that the work is that of three different smiths. Perhaps you could enlighten us with their names, and the particular features which identify them??
