Hello Im new to the Forum and first have to say how much I have enjoyed reading many of the detective stories over the last few months and what an excellent job the forum and its members have done.
Im based in Northern Oman and I have seen a few swords with hilts like that one in the museum case on the left of picture above. It looks like an extended and reworked form of old Omani Battle Sword Hilt.. I wonder if there is any history on that weapon and if it has been researched because it is so similar.
