Karud dagger with unusual chased scabbard

[francantolin]

Hello dear members,

today I come with a massive karud dagger
I just acquired.

Afghan or north indian origin,
The hilt is made of bone or walrus ivory.

The silver scabbard mounts looks unusual to me:

Makes me think of Tibetan-bhutanese daggers or kappala . Or chinese origin.

So maybe all was made in eastern Afghanistan area close to China ?

Or in northern India ?

Or a later add for the scabard ??
