I happen to handle dozens of shabriyas yearly, from all periods and this one does look contemporary but I think quality is above average turist market grade. Not the best but surely not a crappy one either. Intersting thing is, the late Jordan king Hussein can be seen in formal publicity photos, while dresses in traditonal Abaya gown he wears an identical form khanjar, although gold-plated.
