And Ibrahim, you may want to wait abit before contacting the national museum. They are closed until November. But you may also want to contact bait alzubair which has an extensive collection of Omani artifacts including kattaras, all of which had fighting thick blades. One with older mounts had a rapier like Portuguese blade and one had an etched European blade. Photos were not allowed there so I followed the rules and didnt take photos of any.
