Hi Steve,
The last pic relates to the other pics and is the same scabbard, not from another Jambiya. I bow to your knowledge regarding the manufacture of these things. I do know that old Jambiyas/Khanjars were tribal items, hence I would have thought a certain lack of standardisation, though similar in regional shape. I have a number of Omani Khanjar, and while the basic shape is constant, the "sizing" is not.
You have PM
Regards Stuart
