19th century gothic dagger?

I can confirm there is a liner in the scabbard but it's not visible from the outside. There are two bits of wood - one on the front plate and one of the back, that help keep the blade snug when in the scabbard.

The scabbard itself is also copper and cast in two identical pieces - the back and front are the same, with the same design etc.

The seam on the scabbard is not all that strong. It would be easy to tear it apart, but then of course it is only copper.
