=== Omani Police (Khanjar) ===

A small Sultanate-of-Oman commission carries the Khanjar emblem at six o'clock above the depth wording. The variant is one of the rarest 16750 sub-types in the auction record. A Bonhams 2021 New Bond Street lot (Bonhams 26687/68, c.1983) carried estimate GBP 70,000–100,000; the catalog noted that a comparable example sold the prior year had a serial number 53 positions away, supporting concurrent-issue production for a single Sultanate commission. Khanjar 16750s sit in their own collector tier above the standard market.

Phillips Hong Kong XI 2020 lot 1009 added a parallel anchor: four 16750 examples are known carrying the Royal Oman Police emblem in white print, all sharing 7.6 million serials and missing the inside-caseback serial repeat — consistent with concurrent batch production for a single commission. Khanjar 16750s sit in their own collector tier above the standard market.
