Salaams TVV ~ You show a 4 ringer Omani Khanjar amongst other daggers... Nice geometric floral patterns indicating Baatina manufacture since the entire scabbard is silver worked.  Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.

Thank you. It's the one we discussed before. You told me previously: "Lovely Omani Khanjar full of patina. Its comes from Sur the famous seafaring town south down the coast from Muscat." Best Gene |

After it's initial clean up (removal of decades of polish residue) it looked a little 'bright'. The silver is starting to 'tone' now and looks much better.

Salaams Atlantia ~ Salaams Atlantia ~ Ah yes indeed Sur ! No doubt about that. On cleaning ~ You may have seen my notes on cleaning done at the makers using a strange berry and by burnishing...at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpost.php?p=129468&postcount=26 The locals just use a brass brush which sounds vicious but brass(often with a splash of water) is good as it only removes the silver oxide and polishes well. Toothpaste is good. In fact the daily wearing of this badge of office is often enough to keep it clean. Silvo polish is also excellent. I believe that this is a classic design from Sur.
