Interesting Jambiya BTW! What's the blade like?


Edit: Adding pics of my 'job lot'. Shown with a mounted Yemeni Silver coin that I bought separately: Mutawakilite kingdom of Yemen, Imadi Riyal, 1344 (accession date AH1322), Imam Yahya (1322-1367-1904-1948).

Haven't got a clue what the large multi part piece is. All the main parts are stamped with a square mark on the reverse, but it's to indistinct to make out any detail.

Hi Gene,
Yes the pointed ring is a First finger ring as described by Ibrahiim. There are different rings for all 4 fingers, and also a thumb ring.
I will post pics of the Jambiya in the next few days----also some individual pics of the various items. Although not weapons, they are certainly Ethnic and I'm sure will be of interest. The blade of the Jambiya is a bit pitted but not too bad really. A truely interesting piece IMHO.
Merry Xmas to the Christians amongst us, but other religions of course are entitled to gifts, especially if they are sharp and pointy .
Regards Stu
P.S. IF that large piece you show has hooks at each end, it is likely either a chest or head dress. the hooks at each end would attach to either clothing , or another band of some sort.
