North African . The blade, the scabbard fittings, can be nothing else! That is a strong statement.

I agree.........BUT WHAT IS IT? Is it a Shula variant or is it something else entirely? As stated previously I can find nothing like it in any books I have, although it is obviously NOT a one off, as the previous thread pics included above show a very similar but not the same item.
