This one needs some repair

As I said, the blade was shortened. There are some marks near the handle. On one side there are two stars and a sun. On the other side, it's only marked with a sun.

Total length of the sword : 71 cm.

Length of the blade : 59 cm.

Length of the sheath : 85 cm.

Sorry to bring out an old topic.

This is a very interesting sword. Its arab, I think with a caucas blade. The fitting are yemeni.

Reminds me of those random yemeni swords which seem to be enhanced badawi style.

Hi Lotfi
In summary, it's a "Saïf"

Salaams Dom, No its a Kattara.(being curved)

I agree on the blade with Lofty... As for repairing the scabbard I would consider either a silver case or simple tooled leather.

I think this is the Omani Variation of the Badawi style? The scabbard fittings look very yemeni.. its the hilt that could be Omani. Am not sure.
