Nice silver yemeni jambiya sheath

[Pertinax]

Hello PeterP

I have no information about the mark. I know that Jewish jewelers worked in Yemen until 1949, after which they moved to Israel.

I also have a silver jambiya scabbard made by Jewish Yemeni craftsmen from the early 20th century, the filigree was made using a different technique. Unfortunately, the jambia itself is younger and matched to this sheath, presumably from the mid-20th century
