I would have just said Arabian. LOL But yes, Omani/Arab I'm sure is correct.
This must have been a popular flask style on the Peninsula as you see many, old specimens available today. All built the same way. I don't have this style in my collection, but I have my eye one one.

I have always thought of this style as "Arabian". As Rick says they come up quite often and the style is always similar but with different surface decoration. The powder cutoff varies also.
Here are 3 of mine.

Hi Stu.

That looks like a nice silver mounted one on the right.
By coincidence, the one I had my eye on, I just purchased today. Should arrive in less than two weeks. Now I have one in my collection.

Woops !! I found two more that I didn't remember I had. Although the one with the bullet pouches might be Algerian (?).

I'm going to have to go through my collection and see what I have. LOL !!!
Either too much stuff, or just getting old and forgetting. Probably both.
