I think i see what Battara means about the scabbard.
When i bought my yemenite silver mounted jambyia, i went look for info at the Web and, the inumerous silver hilted jambyias out there, also have the scabbard made of silver, with the same or similar decoration patterns. Rather than an export piece, could it be that the scabbard is a replacement ?
Sorry for so basic question, is there any inscription in the back of the grip ?
