To complete this thread, here are some recent Meccan jambiya.
The one with the black belt is very good and i will place this kind of jambiya around 1930-50ties... the two others are very recent 1970ties until 1990... |

Apparently the lot passed twice, i think in a row, what i have observed. I was watching it closely to get a feeling and learning the prices.

Well it's a very good example. It's not a Meccan jambiya as defined by collectors, but it's a jambiya from Mecca!
I guess the Meccan jambiya was defined by the ones hold by Lawrence... Your example has some clear Omani inspirations... Like this one, an Arab man in Jeddah, 1918... |
