Nice belt, I think its yemeni. The chiseling looks identical to one of my yemenite jews made jambiya. Here are the pictures:

Thanks Michael, all help appreciated.
Excelent Alnakkas! Wow! Thank you ! That realy clinches it as Yemenite Jewish silverwork I think! Is there an inscription date on your Jambiya by any chance? It looks a lovely & unusuasl piece to my eye. Spiral |

Hey Spiral,
The inscription on the stamp doesnt show clearly, its too dirty and I fear cleaning it as it may damage the inscription. Check my other yemenite knife (said to be jewish work. Well the maker name fits aswell): http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=Abdullatif So imo, your belt is yemeni and early 20th century maybe late 19th Regards, Abdullatif |
