Indian scabbard strap

On most of my Indian scabbards only the 'fish tail' is left, I only have one scabbard where the retaining strap is complete.
Does any of you have scabbards where the strap is intact?

Definitely a very rare example, Jens ... and a beautiful one !

These straps can be seen in use in miniatures, but I have only seen it in one or two.
