I have to admit that the version of Ariel, more accurate.
I'm asked the Russian forum, and a very respected man confirmed Turkish origin this kinjal. Eastern Anatolia, Black Sea Turkey.
Regards.

Very cool. And again, much appreciated. Maybe someday I will source a larger kindjal to keep this one company...

Now by chance would either/any of you have any idea where I can source a period-original replacement scabbard for a blade measuring 253.2 mm x 31.7 mm?

Finding a scabbard is next to impossible. You may try this:
