Hi Ariel:
I was thinking about the same as far as the date, early 19th cent.
There is a small swivel on the front of the scabbard. Would this be for a
small chain or cord to secure it to a belt? Tirri calls this type of blade both
a peshkab or a choora. Like you stated maybe both tribal or regional names
for the same knife........Dave.
