Default Kurdish, Turkish, Balkan Jambiya (and Wootz)

Hi All,

I've had a few of these and I'm interested to identify the (presumably) region specific variations.
Here is my favourite (Turkish Kurd?), Silver coin decorations (Turkish coins?).
Blade seems to be wootz, with just visible patterns and shiny carbides.
I had one that had a very 'ottoman' style scabbard with repousse brass end and coiled wire 'spring' style seam on the leather.
Also of course there is the familiar Kurdish types with this sort of scabbard...

Anyway, commects on mine please, and information on specific identifications.
