Most of the pinahigs that I have seen has the closed-type scabbards, but there maybe pinahigs having the the hikot type scabbards (open-faced).

With regards to your pictures, they may seem (to me) as pehlets. BUT, will share this picture with the bladesmith for comfirmation.

Kind regards. Be safe all
