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.

Salaams A.alnakkas~ I was thinking more the style of hilt from Syria? Actually I thought Bedawi style too. Not Omani. Possible Yemeni or Saudia?

Salaams,

No this is not syrian style. Badawi style is abit different depending on region, ones coming out of Qatar and Bahrain have a shorter pommel cap then "saudi" ones.

I think this is Omani with Yemeni scabbard fitting (or maybe Omani scabbard). Here is a similar one on Artzi's site:

If you pay closer attention tO the fittings decoration you will see Omani all over it.
