Touareg? Omani? In between? Need opinion.

Interesting sword Ariel, would be interested to see what this turns out to be.

Sorry I've no idea, but what a great sword, well done.

Are the fullers forged or ground? If forged it does, indeed, suggest good age

A similar sword described as Omani Kattara

I would guess that's an Omani or Hadrami sword that made it over to East Africa and got redecorated. I want one like that.
