Lovely sword, thanks for sharing! If this sword is evidence of a wootz producing center in Oman that would be truly amazing. If I remember correctly, Saqr Al-Anzi once commented that Arabia had a well developped swordsmith industry until the 16-17th centuries, after which all local production mysteriously disappeared. This sword however may change this view.
Regards,
Teodor
