You outbid me, you &^t%#$%@!!!!!!!!!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is an Omani kattara, of a very early type, as per Elgood, 17-18th century. The pommel was broken off and the owner or some other %&$%#$@%^&$ stuck the handle of an Omani jambiya onto it. With a screw, no less.... The blade needs to be cleaned to look for any markings, but I would not be surprised to find it is Persian. I wanted it so bad! Evidently, you wanted it more... Well, having vented some steam (and a lot of it, as you see), congratulations! Just do not forget to post the post-cleaning pics ![]() ![]() |
