An odd straight Omani Dancing Sword with a numbered blade. New.

This sword was given its hilt and scabbard in the central region around Nizwa. The makers said that it(The Blade) was a "Roosi" The weight is double that of a normal Saif and the bend is ok but by no means a full 90 degree... more like half that...Roosi by the way means Russian..The assumption is Russian imported blade ... however I have to say it is the first I have encountered.
Weird number
