Odd Dagger

I came across this dagger for sale on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

It almost looks to me like the dagger and the scabbard do not go together, but, since I'm just a beginer in this hobby I don't have much experience. Does anyone else know anything about it? Thanks.

Sorry, I thought the auction was still live. The scabbard is from a Moroccan Koumyya dagger, and definately the dagger is NOT one of those.

Hi JS

The dagger and scabbard are not a match. When you get it take some better pics of the dagger it be something interesting.

The scabbard is Moroccan from a Koumya. The knife looks India or Persia to me. You're right, they don't belong together.

I did not buy the knife. I was merely interested if anyone knew more about it. I thought the scabbard was from a Koummya. Does anyone recognize the knife itself?
