Hi Battara,
That's precisely the issue. I have seen many jambiyas id'ed as Omani with this very same T-feature.
I have also seen pictures of Yemeni merchants selling these T-Pommels on their market booths, among other jambiya types. But since I don't know anything about asian blades, I thought that perhaps they were omani-styled daggers made in Yemen.
BTW, I have been reading your previous posts on Jambiyas. You obviously are an authority on the subject..!
BTW, how can I check if the hilt/scabbard is made of silver?
Regards
Manuel
