I agree with the Talismanic concept on the date and of course it carries the Passau Wolf another Talisman. I suggest that this is a reworked blade post 1970 from the famous Muttrah workshop. Originally European on an Omani Hilt having been fitted with an extended tang and pommel. How flexible is the blade please?
