Thank you, Ebrahiim! I had previously read your fine thread, but I have re-read it now at your advice. The man I traded the Omani khanjar from, told me that he got it from a guy who received it attached to the inside of a deep glass-fronted portrait frame. There is still a round spot 2 centimetres wide in the centre of the scabbard back that shows it had been glued in place.
Looking at my pic, are you able to give an idea as to the approximate age of this khanjar, Ebrahiim? And do you think it is Oman-made, or could it be an Indian copy?
I appreciate your comments.
Johan
