Hi Thilo,
Very nice piece you have there!!

Here is a similar one from my collection. The translation on this one reads AMAL MOHAMED MIDWANE 1378 (1958AD) JEDDAH. One of our Members will no doubt be able to clarify what the script on your Jambiya says.
Regards Stuart

Lovely example Thilo.
I particularly like 'all metal' weapons.

Best
