Khanjar made from old Sabre
Just won the auction for this. I have no idea where it's from, but it looks a little like the khanjars from Syria. Or maybe Kurdish or Iraqi or Marsh Arab? The blade looks to be made from a rather old sabre, and the scabbard/hilt look like wood with copper and mother of pearl? Any idea where it's from?

This Turkish tourist dagger has similar mother of pearl inlays, but the shape is totally different. |

You have a lot of "fake" flintlock pistols with the same decoration.
Now your "tourist" dagger could be old, around the end of 19th to the beginning of 20th c. You have a lot of so-called late Qajar who were also "tourist" objects... Kubur |

Odd that they'd use a nice sabre blade on a souvenir. Maybe they were plentiful back then.

You can find similar decoration on some old arab furniture, usually said to be Syrian or possibly Egyptian.
