Ariel, sadly this one appears to be a put together piece. The scabbard is Iraqi while the handle is Jordanian (?)

Hi Ariel,
Thanks for posting this. However, this is a mismatch. The dagger itself is a fairly standard Jordanian shibriya from the 1950' +/-10 years, but the scabbard is Iraqi, belonging either to a Kurdish type dagger (most likely) or a Marsh Arab dagger (see pictures).

You were before me, but I didn't see your post.
