Thanks Ariel. Dog-leg it is. Dog-leg blade is also the tell tale sign of older Majdalis between late 19th century and WWI.
Disk and ring on the pommel are typical of pre-shibriyas as well as early shibriyas, and went out of fashion around 1940. One or two sub-types kept producing pommel rings even later.
