It could also have been bought to mate the hilt with a new blade and fittings for the Yemeni/Saudi high-end jambiya markets. I've read of jambiyas fetching much more than this, when loaded with enough bling and with the right attributed provenance.

For the price paid plus a few hundred more for restoration it would be easier to wait around a pic up a better example in way better shape for about the same money. |
