A quality Saudi / Arabian Peninsular silver mounted jambiya. The
14 inch steel blade is firm in the grip. General age and wear as
to be expected. Overall 20 inches. Yours for £(too late -

Circa 90% Silver content result: We conducted a professional acid
silver test on an obscure part of this Jambiya. The acid solution
turned light blood red, indicating around 90% silver content, and
stayed that colour, indicating the item (hilt) is either solid silver
(in places, at least where we tested) or is very thick silver plating
(see below for image of test).
