I concur with what Robin said. Seen many similar ones in the souk of Muscat.

At least silversmithing is not dead over there.

One knows ( now.. better than never )

Quite a good likeness to the subject Khanjar illustrating a simple cloth belt and an Ameriki hilt (plastic) . Eyes of the bedouin decoration below the belt common on Omani Khanjars. See The Omani Khanjar on these pages athttp://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14878&highlight=omani+khanjar&pag e=4. But there are no fake coins on this item. Actually fake coins are not used on Omani Khanjars.

#108 of http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread...khanjar&page=4 refers.
