Default where did it go??

Hi Guys,
A few days ago this " Wahhabite Khanjar Jambiya Dagger & Sheath c 19th Century" ( Ebay description, not mine) disappeared through the Ebay system - possibly sold. Ebay was operating a live auction - first time I had seen this on Ebay. Anyway, a combination of a clumsy IT platform for Ebay live auctions and my getting out of bed late, produced a missed opportunity to bid.
I am chasing the jambiya as I would like to get better photographs of the silver maker stamp and Hebrew script on the back of the scabbard to add to some research I am doing.
Did any member happen to perform better than myself and buy the item, or know where it went?
Any help appreciated, thanks,
steve

Yes, thanks, that photo was with the Ebay listing. I think I can identify the stamp but I need a small clean up there and some higher definition photos to be sure.

Looks like Hebrew text?
