This is an original Persian shamshir converted into a Shashka. The scabbard also appears to be the original one, modified for the new purpose.

Marius, I would agree with you. But! As you can see in the first photo, the handle of this shashka is very deeply hidden in scabbard. So I think that the master made these scabbard specifically for this shashka
