Yemeni (?) Sword for ID and Comments

Thank you for the additional responses. Yes, a rough, rural bedouin dress is a possibility. I believe the hilt, which is made of two parts soldered together and the scabbard chape are from the same alloy (possibly the same sheet of metal): I will try to take a better picture of them next to each other over the weekend. There could be a wooden core inside the hilt, hard to tell.

The rivets go through on both sides and, aesthetics aside, hold the blade to the hilt pretty well without any movement.
